Who is Els van Doesburg (35), the youngest mayor of Antwerp ever and the third woman in that position?

Born in Utrecht's Soest and only 35 years young. Els van Doesburg is the surprising new mayor of Antwerp and successor to Bart De Wever of the same N-VA party. She was sworn in on Monday in the Antwerp city council in an acting role.

This week, Els van Doesburg (35 years old) started a three-day marathon, following interviews, swearing in as a burmese mayor acting as Antwerp and the first meeting of the communal council. All at 24 weeks of pregnancy. Interview-portrait of an elected N-VA who intends not to remain in the shadow of his predecessor.
