Aalst (Eurotoday Newspaper): Frank François, 51, is a Belgian known for his work in real estate, insurance, and music. He joined the Open VLD political party in 2022 and tried to become its leader in 2023. He believes politics often feels disconnected from people’s real lives but was not allowed to lead the party because he hadn’t been a member long enough.
Frank François was a well-known figure who worked in many areas, including real estate, insurance, entertainment, and politics. He gained respect as a real estate and insurance broker while also being a popular singer. His talent and charm helped him connect with many people, blending his professional life with his love for music.
How is Frank François shaping the future of Open VLD in Belgium?
It has been said that in 2022, François made a significant move into politics by joining Open VLD, a liberal party in Belgium. His ambitions became clear when he announced his candidacy for the party’s leadership in the summer of 2023. This was an important step in his career as he aimed to influence the party’s future on a national level. With a strong educational background, François showed he could successfully transition between business and politics while staying true to his identity.
According to François, people in Belgium and around the world are tired of politics because political parties seem far away from real life and the problems people face.
