New season Brugs Hour starts

Patrick Moenaert turns out to be an excellent choice for the Brugs Hour. The room is too small for the two hundred people who come to listen. And that for a “washed-up resident of Bruges”. But Patrick followed the love of his life.

Moenaert was mayor of Bruges for eighteen years and has achieved a Bruges record with 18,388 preferential votes. Patrick Moenaert was straightforward. He made the decisions in difficult dossiers such as the European Championship Euro 2000, Bruges 2002 Cultural Capital and the construction of the Concertgebouw. He gritted his teeth on the stadium file. Too big from the start. And now it’s one big mess.

Patrick Moenaert will be 74 next month.
