In a video posted on his Facebook account, the mayor of Wanze Christophe Lacroix announced on Friday that he had cancer of the tongue, diagnosed at the end of June. “For a politician, it’s something quite ironic,” he added jokingly. Admittedly, it is a cancer, but there is no point in dramatizing unnecessarily. “I have been treated since July 26 by the great teams at the CHU. This cancer is localized. This cancer will heal and there is a good chance that you will find me in the coming weeks.”
But in the meantime, the one who is also a federal deputy will take a little rest. “It is necessary before approaching the home stretch of my last chemotherapy session and the last radiotherapy sessions.” Christophe Lacroix taking leave of his functions, it is the first alderman Bernard Lhonnay who will ensure the interim, for one month, as mayor of Wanze. Note that the news had already been announced on Tuesday to members of the college and a little later to municipal staff.
After sending a message of support to those suffering from cancer, the former Walloon budget minister, now 56, announced that he was forced to skip the Fêtes de Wallonie taking place this weekend in the entity. “It’s a regret for me, but I can’t expose myself. And anyway, with the throat I currently have, I couldn’t talk to everyone, or have a little drink.”
