PORTRAIT. Pascal Smet, the flustered top politician who refuses to throw an employee in front of the bus

Pascal Smet has collided with the scandal too much. Last year, his political fate was already in the balance when it turned out that he had treated the taxi platform Uber too kindly — and now follows the revelation that he not only rolled out the red carpet for the mayor of the Iranian capital Tehran, but also paid his costs. Smet was no longer a top politician, but it is painful for his Vooruit party to lose a fixed value just now that figurehead Conner Rousseau is also being discredited.
