Mayor De Wever will miss the arrival of Sinterklaas, but… (Antwerp)
This coming Saturday it will finally be time: Sinterklaas will dock with his steamer in Antwerp. Mayor Bart De Wever will not be able to greet Sinterklaas, because he will not be present at the welcome party. Alderman Annick De Ridder will take the place of De Wever.
Bart De Wever himself has not yet announced the news on social media, but he certainly does not suffer from health problems, on the contrary. Alderman Annick De Ridder shared via Twitter with the mayor of Antwerp on Sunday a marathon will run in Athens, the capital of Greece.
“Proud that I can stand in for our mayor on Saturday at the arrival of Sinterklaas”, writes De Ridder on Twitter. “I look forward to receiving Sinterklaas in our beautiful city and port.”
The steamer from Spain will arrive at the Steen’s pontoon. There the holy man is called by his good friend Bart Peeters and alderman De Ridder. (sdb)
