VIDEO. Theo Francken on place 2 in the 100 Belgians of 2018. I make mistakes. It allowed me to shave. But should I therefore be slaughtered?

And you thought that Bart De Wever from the N-VA was the only one to ever of the Latin serves. This is the most popular member of the government-Michel. ”‘Boni pastoris est tondere pecus, non deglubere.’ A good shepherd shears his sheep, but felt they are not. I make mistakes. It allowed me to shave. But should I therefore be slaughtered?”, he himself says. You chose Theo Francken (39) to the politician of the year.

Congratulations. You are standing on 2. Who is on 1, do you think?

“Last year were that the social workers and the attacks of 22 march. Absolutely right. I would also go find him this year, the soldiers-on-street all the way at the top. I take Our Boys off my hat, or they are now flying over Iraq or patrolling in Brussels. You know, I have a heart for the ministry of Defence. If it is not the soldiers, who at 1, it is only Nafi Thiam. What a woman. What a sportswoman.”

Beautiful duo you are. They are the best zevenkampster in the world, the tienkamper of politics. Present on all fronts, 24/7. Always in the back, always an opinion, always a controversy. How do you keep that full?

(Laughs) “My mom always says I'm like Obelix. That I as a small child in a cauldron full of magic potion've fallen and my energy since that is inexhaustible. I think it has more to do with the example of my political father, Geert Bourgeois. Geert is always the Stakhanov of the Flemish political influence. A hard-nosed worker. That have Ben Weyts and I of him, adele.”
