Video message Van Quickenborne opens Party Team Mayor Kortrijk

About 1600 people gathered in the Xpo of Kortrijk on Saturday evening for the Team Burgemeester party. Minister of Quickenborne, unlike Prime Minister Alexander Decroo, could not be physically present. Van Quickenborne did address the guests via a video message: “We doubted for a while whether we would let the party continue. But by canceling we give in to the drug mafia. And we must never let that happen.”

Prime Minister Alexander Decroo and acting mayor of Kortrijk Ruth Vandenberghe are also of the opinion not to give up and not to be intimidated by the threats from the drug environment.

Van Quickenborne concludes his video message by thanking the security services: “This time I was the target. But unfortunately many people in law enforcement are confronted with this. It is they who are on the front line every day and night to protect us all.” .” The party in Kortrijk Xpo started with a standing ovation for Minister Van Quickenborne and all police officers in the line of fire.
