In 1990 the abortion law passed through Belgian Parliament. This was the first of a whole series of immoral laws in Belgium. It was in this period I felt called for politics.
I joined the Flemish Christian Democrats of CVP (later CD&V). I was a member of the Limburgian provincial counsel (1995-2000) and was a candidate for the federal senate three times (1999, 2003, 2007).
In 2004 I started C'axent, a Christian political movement to emphasize the C in Christian democracy. This movement is independent. Until now, I am still chairman of C'axent. The board consists of 15 members. It is a Flemish organisation. Flanders is the Northern part of Belgium with 6 million inhabitants.
I would like to see more Christian values in decisions and laws in the countries of Europe.
I find it important to contribute to the implementation of Christian thinking and values in politics throughout Europe.
Running, music, travelling.
Proverbs 31:8: Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
That is what I try to do in politics.
People who are always talking about tolerance and include everything except Christian thinking.
By my Eastern European fellow Christians. Because they had a hard time till the 90s of the 20th
Century and they managed to overcome. Now they are an inspiration for W-European Christians as us, who are in a kind of mental, ethical and intellectual tribulation.
