“Remarkable”: political scientist Herwig Reynaert about N-VA party leader Dedecker
“I’m surprised,” says Professor Reynaert. “Especially because Jean-Marie Dedecker sometimes made it clear in the past that he wanted to stop his parliamentary work in Brussels.”
“Remarkable as an independent”
As an independent, Dedecker would draw the parliamentary list for N-VA in our province, it was leaked last night.
“As an independent, apparently. That is also remarkable. The party leader is the poster boy of the party. Until now, Jean-Marie Dedecker has not been a member of the N-VA because he may not agree with some points in the party program. Being on the list as an independent is strange to say the least.”
Press moment with more explanation
This afternoon, Jean-Marie Dedecker and the N-VA party will provide more explanation at a press conference in Brussels.
