WHO AM I?

I am the oldest on our Horizon list (72 years old), yet I want to continue working for the good of our municipality. I have lived in the centre of Wezembeek-Oppem for more than 40 years and, until recently, worked as a GP. 

I have always valued our municipality's multilingual character, and I find these values reflected in the Horizon list. I received a Flemish education, and my wife is French-speaking; our children are also aware of the added value of a fluent knowledge of languages. I enjoy sports activities and socialising. My experience as a general practitioner allows me to look after social issues and common social projects within the framework of the CPAS.

MY Motivations

I wish to continue my social involvement within the framework of CPAS in cooperation with a renewed municipal policy.

My vision for a just and supportive society, underpinned by a renewed municipal policy, is evidence of my commitment to ensuring the shared peaceful happiness of our community.

priorities

  • Health: Provide opportunities for simple daily physical activity – collaborate with primary care to offer a prevention policy and manage unexpected events

  • Environment: Create connections between different green spaces and organize shared vegetable gardens.

  • Urban planning: Optimize the use of communal property for social services and activities that encourage gathering.

  • Community spirit: Ensure respect for the fundamental rights of every citizen in harmony with our own cultures – maintain community peace – increase the number of accredited daycare centers.
