Stefaan De Clerck is clearly not amused that CD&V is going to the voters in Kortrijk with Team Mayor in October. “I think integrity is very important in politics, that is why I am against merging with Q. It is really a personal story. I have nothing against Ruth Vandenberghe, I have always worked well with her in the past. But when Q would be from the police, that is not possible for me. What has that urination incident not shown?”
“My son thinks he can correct from within and that is why he goes together, but I don’t believe in that. I am not going to stand in the political arena myself by giving an interview in the media, partly because of that family aspect. I respect my son’s view, but I think it is a wrong decision.”
