Weyts consulted discreetly with Target 2020

The weekly Knack reports on two discreet consultation moments between Ben Weyts and Jan Creve, the inspirer of the protest for the preservation of polder village Doel and candidate for the municipal elections with the Beveren 2020 list. Weyts reportedly met Creve a first time in the presence of Freddy Aerts, the coordinator of the “complex project around the extra container capacity” in Antwerp. A second meeting was at Creve’s home. In doing so, Weyts is said to have had with him a document that looked a lot like an agreement between the Flemish government, the Antwerp Port Authority and the Doel 2020 activists. Interestingly, the Beveren city council, where Weyts’ own party sits in the majority along with CD&V, was not involved in those talks.
