How he stands out, how he stands out, your leader? Drieu Godefridi, poster boy for the N-VA in Wallonia. However, Cayman had said it clearly: Hendrik Vuye. For years the most popular teacher at the Université de Namur and resident of Walloon Brabant. You can’t have a better one. That he left in anger, or was it chased away? Sponge over it. Amnesty should still ring a bell with a few N-VA members.
But no, your leader knew better: Godefridi. Who you can already predict will have to be expelled from the party in a month’s time. Assuming he is a member of course, because that was not entirely clear. Especially because the newcomer loudly proclaimed that he is not a Flemish nationalist and never will be. He was close to dismissing confederalism as the worst form of government imaginable for this country. Bart De Wever’s bewildered face at the chaotic presentation of the new Degrelle spoke volumes. Say no more whether the power struggle with Theo Francken, who brought in the recruit, will erupt before rather than after the elections. Then the N-VA will sink even deeper.
The same evening, Dorian de Meeûs, editor-in-chief of La Libre Belgique, explained in ‘Terzake’ what a fool they have brought into N-VA. That must have happened to Kim Geybels, the starlet of Lumineus Lummen. To whom the state had to pay 35,000 euros in damages on the orders of the European Court of Human Rights because she had been unlawfully expelled from the Senate, whether or not at the instigation of De Wever. Unless she has already left, Kim will stand up for Els Ampe’s Voor U in June. That promises fireworks, those two, each with a line.
De Meeûs knows who he is talking about, because Godefridi was once an employee of his newspaper. After five minutes he had convinced all viewers: he was crazy. A supporter of Trump and a denier of global warming, who had previously called the N-VA a fascist party. There are arguments for that up to that point, but he also compared Fidel Castro with Augusto Pinochet, and then the line has been crossed.
Drieu has a doctorate in philosophy from the Sorbonne, which sounds better than it is.
In De Tijd, Wallonia envoy Bert Kruismans also left a splinter of the latest N-VA comedian. He quoted the deadly characterization by Louis Michel: ‘Un farfelu, qui a fait des études.’ Drieu has a doctorate in philosophy from the Sorbonne, which sounds better than it is. Moreover, that academic degree was parroted so quickly by all journalists that we wonder if anyone has checked it, it would not be the first time. According to uncle Wiki, Godefridi is too venture capitalist, which sounds as bad as it is. One Marc Coucke seems more than sufficient for the coping capacity of the average Walloon. Both the editor-in-chief of La Libre and the columnist of De Tijd agreed: the Walloon frontman of N-VA is crazy. Will get a lot of votes. He himself is aiming for three seats, De Meeûs and Kruismans were thinking of none.
We’re sorry to have to say it again, but your leader has completely lost it. So fed up with the polls that repeatedly give him fewer votes and Tom and Raoul always more, that he piles up the blunders. He resigns as chairman on June 10. And, like so many political desperate people, flees to city hall.
