Théo Francken filmed drunk in the streets of Brussels: “After all, I am only a human being” (VIDEO)

”He’s preparing for Van Quickenborne’s next birthday”, “it’s embarrassing”, “Theo Francken is the best possible advertisement for more public toilets in Brussels, too bad his party is only committed to tearing down services public”, can we read on X, formerly Twitter. Some go so far as to make montages of Manneken Pis with the face of the federal deputy.

Many observers believe that this scene symbolizes all the respect that Theo Francken feels for Brussels. “The N-VA and Theo Francken are literally dirtying the City of Brussels. The N-VA deputies from Brussels are expected with their parliamentary questions at the start of the school year on the sanctions to be taken once morest Theo Francken”, considers the Brussels deputy Hicham Talhi (Ecolo) .

The video has gone viral on social media, but its provenance remains undetermined. On the images filmed by passers-by, the N-VA deputy Theo Francken seems under the influence of alcohol and urinates in a planter located in the middle of the boulevard Emile Jacqmain, in the center of Brussels, in the middle of passers-by. The video also shows him at a sidewalk cafe, clumsily holding on to his chair while having a drink, before getting up and throwing the chair away.

Questioned by the Flemish daily Het Laatste Niews this Saturday August 26, 2023, the deputy admitted that it was indeed him on the video. Theo Francken said he had “an overly drunken evening, following a heavy and stressful period”.

“Stupid behavior”

He admits to having had “a stupid behavior”, judging the images “embarrassing”. “I don’t want to condone what I did, but at the end of the day, I’m just a human being,” he added. The police were not yet aware of the video, but will look into the file, assures Het Laatste Nieuws. Theo Francken risks a fine of 350 euros.

“Pipi-gate”: the Open VLD did not need that

This is the second time in a week that Flemish politicians have been singled out for “pipigates”. Last Thursday, the Flemish press revealed that three guests at the birthday of Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne urinated on a police suit parked near his home to protect him from a kidnapping project by drug traffickers. It should be noted that the prosecution confirms that contrary to what had initially been announced by the Flemish press, Minister Van Quickenborne was not present at the time of the events and strongly condemned the behavior of his guests.

“I am as disgusted as the police. The three responsible will have to answer for their actions and suffer the consequences. In recent years, I have worked hard as Minister of Justice to work for better police which constitute the armed arm of the law and who deserves respect. I have always been able to count on the police in the context of threats once morest me and my family. I am extremely grateful. The prosecution will now continue its work. It will of course that I will give him my full cooperation. I regret that this incident happened following my birthday party but a host is not responsible for the bad behavior of his guests on the public road, “he commented. on his Facebook page.
