Belgian minister Beenders moves to Heusden-Zolder, future in Hasselt uncertain

Federal Vooruit minister Rob Beenders will relocate to Bolderberg (Heusden-Zolder) next year, raising questions about his political future in Hasselt, where he has been a key vote-getter. Beenders keeps options open for the 2030 municipal elections, stating the local branch can count on him regardless of residence. This is a local political development with no immediate national or market implications.
