Will PS councillor Claude Dedye and his partner Julie Beckers (leader of the Socialist group in the local council) have to resign? The question arises because Dedye, who was in charge of donations at the Pepinster railway station, has admitted to having diverted 500 kg of coal intended for flood victims to his parents-in-law.
The mayor, Philippe Godin, revealed the facts on Monday evening. Claude Dedye admits it: “I asked to deliver a big bag of coal to someone close to me (…) Yes, very clearly: the parents of my girlfriend.
Indignation from the mayor: “It’s scandalous! Elected people should set an example! But here, they are helping themselves (to donations). There has been a misappropriation.
“I’m sorry,” Claude Dedye retorted. “It was probably not the most appropriate way to donate the coal. I deeply regret it. I shouldn’t have done that…” His in-laws are in need, he swears again. That’s why he would have had the coal delivered to the needy.
“That’s not an explanation,” retorts Philippe Godin. These donations were supposed to go to the disaster victims! And he repeats: this is “a misappropriation”.
Claude Dedye and Julie Beckers have now been summoned to appear before the PS vigilance commission. They both risk exclusion from the party; and according to our information (collected “from a good source”, as they say), there is little doubt that Claude Dedye will be excluded… The PS is already calling for his resignation from the Pepinster municipal council.
It should also be noted that the mayor, Philippe Godin, has – for his part – filed a complaint.
Are you fucking kidding me. Human greed while other people suffer is worse than human greed as bad as it is already. 0 decency this guy
Can someone from Wallonia please explain to me how the PS keeps on getting so many votes, despite numerous fraud and corruption scandals in their party year after year?
Cunts
Just checked some prices ( not even bulk prices) and coal bags are €10 for 25 kg. I’m surprised people risk their safe/well paying job for that
Coal Story Bro
Pek en veren dan maar?
So he’s sorry but is he going to provide another bag for the victims or are they going to keep themself warm with his sorry?
Ps dont deserve to be in the coal-ition
Sossen gonna sos
What do you expect from people with a lot of power and no way to be held accountable? He is not going to jail, still will be a politician when the noise dies down and will steal again the next chance he gets. We. Need. A. Way. To. Hold. Politicians. Accountable.
