The Gift of Indignation

On January 2, 2019, Louis Tobback sealed his 24-year tenure as Leuven's mayor, bidding farewell. He invites a retrospective of a long career that extends well beyond Leuven. A career that has sometimes felt like a thriller, at other times like a drama, yet is defined above all by a profound outrage at everything that goes wrong in our society. Journalists, political friends, opponents, and other acquaintances look back on a political career that has been decisive for Belgium's post-war history.
