The president of the Reformist Movement (MR), Georges-Louis Bouchez, has received death threats, leading to police raids, he stated on Sunday afternoon on VTM.
A weapon was discovered at the home of a suspect during these operations. The incident occurred prior to a party event in Thuin, Hainaut.
Bouchez admitted he has been threatened on several occasions in the past. He accused left-wing parties and trade unions of exploiting fear and spreading lies on a daily basis. “Raoul Hedebouw and Paul Magnette [Known Belgian left-wing politicians – Editor's note] bear significant responsibility for the rise in violence,” Bouchez said during the VTM Nieuws programme.
