Professor Political Science Carl Devos (UGent) has responded to the allegations to his address on cross -border behavior. In a lecture for the Flemish study and training circle (VSVK) in his home municipality Izegem, he appointed the elephant in the Chamber. « I can handle a push, but this makes my loved ones very. It makes me furious, » said Devos.
Carl Devos gave a lecture for the VSVK on Wednesday evening in which he looked back at the 2024 election year. Before the professor speaks, the organization expressed a word of appreciation for Devos. The VSVK called the VSVK « courageous » that he still let the lecture continue despite the media storm. The organization said the professor to be « grateful » for that.
The arrival of Devos was also received on the applause from the public. Before he started his lecture, he first mentioned « the elephant in the room ». “I am here because I gave my word to the organization. In my entourage they say: You have to stand there, you have to come out, you have nothing to hide. That’s why I’m here. I have nothing to hide, « said Devos, whose words again elicited an applause from the audience.
Devos apologized because it would not be my best reading, « but I’m going to do my best ». « My attention went to the care of my loved ones for recent days, and to my defense against the unimaginable avalanche of lies and insinuations. I don’t know what happens to me, » Devos was open.

The professor also indicated that he would not want to speak with the media, but to prefer a « serene and substantive debate in court ». « I am particularly angry about what happens, about all those lies that the media take on because of the spectacle value. I can handle a push, but this is very much affected by my loved ones. It makes me furious, » Devos says.
The political scientist announced on Monday to take legal steps due to the appearance of Academicthe novel in which his former doctoral student Hilde van Lieferinge Devos – without name him by name – accuses of cross -border behavior, assault, abuse of power, plagiarism and falsification. Although his name remains uninhibited, according to those involved, Devos is portrayed recognizably.
