Tom Meeuws (Vooruit) will immediately stop working as alderman in Antwerp and leave politics: “I’m tired”

At Vooruit in Antwerp they regret Meeuws’ decision. “We can only respect his decision,” local chairman Sascha Luyckx told VRT NWS. “He has done his utmost to put social policy on the map in Antwerp. We thank him very much for that. We are sad to see him leave.”

In the city of Antwerp, the coalition consists of N-VA, Open VLD and Vooruit. “We are in a non-evident coalition,” says Luyckx. “Tom had to fight every day for his points and to stop things. He has boxed way above his weight. He has done well, but he does not want to fight that battle for another 6 years.”
