WHO AM I?

I am 56 years old and I am one of the directors of the Ogepar group, an industrial group that has been belonging to my family for 40 years.

In 2018, I ran in the municipal elections on the Dutch-speaking list WOplus. I did it out of symbolism, to denounce a democracy based on language: with on the one hand a list of all the French-speaking parties and on the other all the Dutch-speaking parties.

For 6 years, I was mainly vocal on issues related to the non-waste of public money and the reduction of municipal taxation on salaries.

My Motivations

I am today a candidate on the Horizon list, happy that a bilingual list is once again being proposed to the voters of our municipality and proud to have been able to work on the drafting of its rich programme. A program for a municipality that contributes to the achievement of key objectives such as the reduction of tax on salaries, the support of people in need, job creation, and the robustness in the face of the consequences of climate change.

My priorities

  • Put an end to oversized and prestige investment projects

  • Introduce a new political culture regarding elected officials' attendance fees

  • Lower municipal taxes on salaries

  • Distribute taxes fairly among all citizens

Stop prestige projects, financed by taxes levied on citizens.
