| Description | Flemish Socialist Party leader Conner Rousseau resigned Friday evening after he recently came under fire for racists from fellow party members for remarks he made in September about the Roma community.
On Friday evening, the Brussels’ section of his party called for Rousseau’s resignation during the party’s extraordinary meeting, according to Dutch news.
In September, Rousseau made racist remarks to a police officer about “all that brown scum,” xenophobic remarks that led to calls for resignation from several Belgian public officials against the now-ousted president of the Vooruit party, according to Dutch news Nieuwsblad. He later claimed he was drunk and apologized. |
