“The devil always hides in the details and it is at the end that he appears,” said the trainer on this subject. “There is no greater honor for me than to be mayor of this city. You never get used to passing through the doors of City Hall,” Bart De Wever also declared this Monday in the metropolis. “It is here, in Antwerp, that I can do the best job. At the federal level, the stable still needs to be cleaned. In Antwerp, we have already done our homework,” he added.
Saying goodbye to the mayoral sash because of the federal appeal would be “bitter”, continued the president of the N-VA who will only lead the government if he “can do something useful”. “I will not compromise on my ambitions,” he insisted.
Finally, Bart De Wever did not want to comment on the fact that the president of the MR, Georges-Louis Bouchez, left the negotiations during an interview last weekend. “I am a trainer and not a moral lesson giver,” he recalled. According to the Antwerp mayor, Bouchez’s departure would not have had a negative impact on the negotiations.
