Tonight Rousseau and the party must show their colours. The socialists bought themselves time by postponing the congress.
Normally, voting would already take place at the beginning of December – just like in the other provinces. Less than a month following the fuss surrounding his person, it was too early to redefine Rousseau’s role within the party. Now, two months later, the party wants the issue off the table. Once a decision has been made and communicated, the focus can shift to the content, the party believes. Vooruit will hold a major election conference at the beginning of March.
