CONNER ROUSSEAU
Conner Rousseau to appear before court the day after the elections
The former chairman of the Flemish Socialist Party (Vooruit) will appear before court on June 10 for his racist remarks about the Roma community.
Although the public prosecutor's office had ruled that there was no need for the Flemish socialist to be tried in court, a Brussels-based non-profit organization Kham summoned him to appear. The trial will start on June 10, the day after the elections, reports Het Laatste Nieuws on Friday. He faces up to one year in prison.
Mr. Rousseau confirms to the Flemish media that he will appear at the Dendermonde correctional court at 08:30 on the Monday following the elections. "I'm a little surprised, but everyone has the right to be angry and take legal action", he said.
