Thomas Dermine, once considered the protégé of Socialist Party leader Paul Magnette, appears to be distancing himself from his mentor. The shift suggests a new direction for a figure once touted as the party's future. In Ghent, an 85-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s lost over €2,000 to a burglar who found her bank cards stored with their PIN codes. The incident highlights the exploitation of vulnerable residents by criminals seeking easy targets. David Hubert noted that while there could be satisfaction with three points against Beveren, the squad must still find a way to improve.
