The co-presidents will remain in office until the end of year holidays. By then, Groen members will have appointed new management.
Their decision had already been made in June, admitted those involved. But they only decided to share it with party membersafter the municipal campaign. “We worked hard every day with a lot of energy and dynamism. And although we managed to create pride, team spirit and fire again in Groen, this is not yet reflected in the election results. This requires even more time and work,” laments Jeremie Vaneeckhout.

The new tandem will be known in mid-December
