Philip Bolle about Stadslijst: “This hurts, but we will continue to work constructively”
Philip Bolle from Vooruit now responds in front of the camera for the first time. Despite everything, the party will continue to contribute constructively to policy in the coming year, he says. “We are professional politicians. We have been hit in the heart in a way that I did not expect at all. That the people of Ypres did not expect either. We can see this in the gigantic reactions we receive. People do not accept this, the way in which we have been treated. Is there some jealousy behind it, is there some jealousy behind it? The aldermen of Vooruit have the largest and heaviest packages under their jurisdiction. This was negotiated in no time and it is what it is. We are quite proud of all those achievements. That’s why this hurts. But again: the elections still have to take place and I think people could be in for a surprise.”
