VIDEO. Rarely were speeches as short: sp.a-leaders launch campaign to... rodeostier

Ingelmunster, West-Flemish sp.a-board this evening, the election campaign for the elections of may on a particularly original way going to be kicked. West-Flemish personalities, John Crombez, Annick Lambrecht and European leader Kathleen Van Brempt gave their speeches on a rodeostier. Rarely were speeches so short.

The award for most original verkiezingsstunt now goes to the socialists. Saturday, they gathered all West-Flemish sp.a-candidates in the Cultuurfabriek in Ingelmunster, where in the middle of the room for a rodeostier prepared. Allegedly knew the sp.a-candidates themselves, from nothing. Kathleen Van Brempt had known that she was commissioned to best a pair of pants to do.

apart from the hilarious stuntje focuses the sp.a in the next campaign on the refinancing of the municipalities. “A Marshall plan is needed,” said John Crombez. “The local investment stand today at a historical low, the achievement rate of the planned investment was in recent years, barely higher than 50 percent. In West-Flanders we get 60 euro per capita less than the Flemish average and even 215 euros less than Antwerp.”

Even if there are a lot of obstacles to keep socialists firmly.

Expensive homes

“nursing Homes in West-Flanders, 220 euros per month more expensive”, Annick Lambrecht further. “Also in home care, investment is poor. In half of our West-Flemish municipalities, there is no local service center, for only three-quarters of the required care hours, there was funding provided. Thousands of West-Flemish disabled people get the money not where they are right ophebben. The people who need care are that tired. But even if there are a lot of obstacles to keep socialists firmly. We enter a new battle, in all circumstances, we will our message to proclaim. For more security for everyone, also locally,” says Lambrecht.

A white rabbit – literally, someone in a bunny suit – welcomed the militants to the entrance. A subtle sneer to other parties. “We have no white rabbit, we grow own talent. Our white bunnies are our 25 young people in the West-Flemish lists”, according to Crombez.

The chance that you will be a sp.a member at the door, by the way, is very large, because the party is planning to 150.000 home lay scattered about all the municipalities of the province.
