It is now official, the Forza Ninove (Vlaams Belang) list obtains the first far-right mayorship in Belgium since the Second World War. Our team on site is not welcome.
47.4% of the votes. This is the score obtained by Forza Ninove according to the final results. The local branch of Vlaams Belang obtains an absolute majority.
An RTL team went to the scene. “We are still relatively threatened“, explains Christophe Deborsu. He continues: “A gentleman has just told us that the Walloons talk nonsense, that we would have problems when we leave. We will not go out without police protection. There are a few young people who look at us with a particularly menacing look, the alcohol doesn’t help.“
The head of the local list, Guy D’haeseleer, clarified on our microphone that there would be “more security and a fight against francization“during his mayorship. Emphasizing that”a lot of people come from Brussels and don’t speak Dutch“.
