“Antony Van der Wee: Karen Damen’s Husband Pursues Political Career with N-VA in Lint”

bvAntony Van der Wee has been in politics since the beginning of this year. Karen Damen’s husband is a board member for the N-VA in Lint, the municipality where the couple lives with their son Sky, and dreams of becoming the new mayor of Lint one day. But whether he will also be able to count on Karen’s voice is not certain.

“Antony has always been interested in politics,” Karen tells us. “We are friends with politician Theo Francken and Edegem’s mayor Koen Metsu, both from N-VA. And it is the latter that convinced him to enter local politics. As a board member of N-VA Ribbon, Antony wants to focus mainly on culture and media. He is in that world himself, so my husband is the perfect person for that. I am very proud of him and fully support him. I ran into Bart De Wever at the Sinksenfoor and he even knew that Antony is part of the board of N-VA Lint.” And so Antony, who is also a musician and producer, is often out in the evenings for meetings.” For years I was always out in the evenings myself, now he can do that. Fortunately, those meetings never last into the night.”

Mayor’s sash

Karen does not know what her husband’s exact political ambitions are. But next year in October there will be municipal elections, so there is a good chance that Antony will stand up for his party. “My husband knows a lot of people in Lint, he has lived there all his life, so I think it will be a real voice cannon (laugh). Ever since we’ve been a couple, he’s been saying he wants to be mayor. He says hello to everyone he meets on the street, because they are potential voters. He jokes over and over again. But I think he still wants to wait a few more years to wear that mayor’s sash.”

stay in Switzerland

But can Antony, and therefore also the N-VA, count on Karen’s vote? “My husband will never know who I vote for,” she laughs. “In terms of political preference, I am Switzerland and I want to stay that way. I am not for one particular party. I don’t care politically, we never talk about it at home. ” Karen also assumes that her husband’s political preference has no consequences for her career. “Every party has supporters and opponents. But I would find it very short -sighted if people did not come and watch my Onewomanshow for that reason. ” The singer and actress himself has no plans to get into politics. In addition to her own performance, she has her hands more than full with family and the new Telenovelle with Camille.
