Eloïs Rousseau Joins Kortrijk Council as Third-Generation Leader

Kortrijk (Eurotoday) – A 28-year-old Eloïs Rousseau will join Kortrijk’s municipal council on March 17, 2025, replacing Joost Bonte. A third-generation politician, she follows Maria Desmet (1932-1965) and Cécile Delrue (1971-1989). She prioritizes mental health, women’s safety, and social policies.

Eloïs Rousseau will join the Kortrijk municipal council. She will take oath on March 17, 2025. She will replace Joost Bonte. She is focusing on her role in the social service. Rousseau was 29th on the Vooruit list in the elections. She wants to help young women in Kortrijk. 

Will Eloïs Rousseau (28) continue her family’s legacy in Kortrijk?

Rousseau wants to help people’s mental health. She said that this is important because many young people in Belgium and Europe are struggling with mental health. Studies show that social interactions are important for teenagers. Research in Kortrijk shows that schoolchildren’s mental health is improving. 

According to the European Youth Portal, mental well-being is important. It includes physical health, emotional stability, and social support. Rousseau wants to make sure that young women in Kortrijk have access to mental health resources. She wants them to feel safe in public spaces. She wants to make sure people know about available services. She wants to make Kortrijk a place where young people feel valued and protected.

Whether you are a student or a young working mother, you should feel supported and safe in our beautiful city. As a municipal councillor, I want to work on that. There is a wide range of help for mental health issues. But not everyone finds their way to the right help. The city can map out that range even more clearly.

Eloïs Rousseau says.

Eloïs Rousseau wants to make Kortrijk a safer city for everyone, especially women. She knows that many women feel unsafe in certain situations, like being harassed at night. She wants to make the police force stronger and have more police officers in public spaces to prevent harassment and crime. 

She also thinks people should know how to respond if they see something dangerous. She believes that social policy is important to help people stay on the right path and prevent crime. Rousseau wants to focus on helping people rather than just punishing them.

Everyone should also be able to feel safe in our city,

Eloïs said.

Eloïs Rousseau is the third generation of women in her family to serve on the municipal council. She is 28 years old and works as an executive assistant at Lidl. She and her brother Conner spent many years working with children at a youth centre. They both want to help children who need special care. 

According to the officials, Eloïs Rousseau has strong ties to Kortrijk, even though she grew up in

  1. Oh, look out Kortrijk, here comes the third installment of the Rousseau saga—because who doesn’t want to inherit a political seat like it’s a family heirloom? Next up, will she start charging by the hour for those “mental health” pep talks? 😂

    Oh, perfect! Just what Kortrijk needed, another Rousseau in politics—because clearly, the first two didn’t set the bar high enough. 😏 Let’s hope she knows the difference between a council meeting and a family reunion! 🍷

    Ah, another Rousseau in the council? Just what Kortrijk needed—like a hole in the head! 😂 Let’s hope she does better than her ancestors at keeping the family business running… or at least managing to find the right mental health resources! 😜
