Political comeback for Kim Geybels: former N-VA politician becomes party leader at Els Ampe’s party | Domestic

Geybels was elected to the Senate on the N-VA list in the June 2010 elections, but shortly afterwards she became involved in a drug affair in Thailand. When she returned, she said she was pressured by the party to resign. She signed her resignation letter, but changed her mind a few days later. According to Geybels, this was possible because her successor had not yet taken an oath, but the Senate was of the opinion that the dismissal was irreversible.

In 2019, the European Human Rights Court ruled that Geybels’ dismissal had not been carried out correctly. The Belgian State therefore had to pay the politician compensation.

“We are fighting the cancel culture. Kim Geybels fits perfectly in our fight against particracy,” Ampe responds. After her eventful political career, Geybels worked for a number of years as an emergency physician and deputy chief physician in the Flemish Ardennes.

“An entrepreneur friend sent me the Voor U program and I found myself in it,” says Geybels. “I have seen with my own eyes where our healthcare system is failing, despite or even because of enormous support structures. “I want to dedicate myself with heart and soul to the optimal organization of our care,” he said.
