Georges-Louis Bouchez responded to these accusations with RTBF, saying that the vehicle is a car of “pool” belonging to the party and not intended for its exclusive use.
“I have nothing to do with all this. Yes, I led her 4 or 5 times. And Lucie Demaret 6 or 7 times. It was only in order to serve the driver by bringing the car to Brussels,” he told RTBF.
A parking card for disabled people in question
At the end of 2024, according to several witnesses cited by Lifting, a PMR card (person with reduced mobility) appeared on the windshield of the Mercedes. This map allows Mons, to park for free throughout the entire municipal territory. However, as early as February 2025, the vehicle was once again verbalized, this time for use of a card deemed invalid.
The investigation reveals that this card belonged to the father of Bouchez driver, now who died. However, the legislation is clear: the PMR card is personal and can only be used if the person with disabilities is present in the vehicle.
“We had never noticed the presence of a card on the vehicle …” said the services of the Presidency of the MR, interviewed by Le Vif.
BUCK DEDOUNA of all responsibility
Questioned by Le Vif and RTBF, Georges-Louis Bouchez denies any involvement in the use of this disabled card. He says he is not responsible for the management of the vehicle, which he said is used by several members of the party.
“It is my driver who was driving the car; a car that is that of the party, which is not dedicated to me,” he said.
