Francis Bekaert, head of the PS list

The PS Sererian broke the deadlock. Twelve days to designate the future head of the list. And as Déborah Géradon said very well, one of the two candidates for the job, when the ink had just dried up: "Three months before the elections, it is high time to move forward "

What the PS did when we least expected it. The crisis was brewing, but the sections preferred to continue their discussions without the help of the Liège federation. Without the help of a mediator since she had found a conciliator: Francis Bekaert.

With the second score in 2012 (more than 2,000 votes), the president of the CPAS Seraing could legitimately claim this head of list by his experience, his election results and his aura to the population.

But by the time the Seraing City branch had to nominate his candidate, he retired for the youth of Laura Crapanzano, who, like Déborah Géradon, represents the future of the party in Seraing.

But now, days have pbaded, positions have crystallized, and the Federation will even be called to the bedside. Seraing is not Awans, Soumagne or Grace-Hollogne.

Finally, after seven tense days, a voice was heard, that of Francis Bekaert who signaled that he was available.

42 years of activism, 30 years of mandate including 21 as president of CPAS, it respects itself. And then, this proposal, it is more of sacrifice than the very desire to gird the mayoral scarf. Francis Bekaert feels good at the CPAS and he would resume well for six years, as the expression says.

However, it is finally him who will lead the troops to the elections of next October. And he does not fear the PTB. He considers that this party offers no solution and that the PS is the only one to have a tangible record of achievements.

In short, the campaign is already launched and the new leader is certainly unanimous around his person.

"Francis gathers"

"When I proposed to head the list, we were in an exceptional situation and, as it was a redesignation of the top of the list, all the cards could be rebutted I did not expect a blockage, but it is clear that this allowed to talk to each other, to find the best solution, to move the lines. the 39th candidate may not come from the Seraing City section, even our head of the list will join in. He wants someone who can bring something in. Francis has a real unifying side and the fact that he says that he is a candidate, he was then the head of the list. "
