RTBF Actus Elections Impacting Boussu's Political Landscape

Political Developments in Boussu

As the RTBF Actus Elections unfold, Boussu witnesses a significant change in its political landscape. The long-standing mayor, Jean-Claude Debiève, has opted out of the race, paving the way for Sandra Narcisi, popularly known as Barbi, to potentially take the helm. Barbi currently serves as the alderwoman responsible for social cohesion, youth, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities.

PS Maintains Its Stronghold

Despite the shake-up, early reports indicate that the Socialist Party (PS) will retain an absolute majority in Boussu, albeit with a slight reduction of one seat. Although the 'AlternatiV' coalition assumed this opportunity to challenge the dominant PS, their efforts appear to falter in the current electoral cycle.

  • Jean-Claude Debiève retires
  • Barbi's diverse background positions her as a unique candidate
  • Opposition's strategy may not suffice against PS's established roots
