Kim Geybels (born 29 October 1981 in Herk-de-Stad) is a Belgian politician and a former member of the Belgian Senate for the N-VA and is a former Chairman of the youth wing of the N-VA.[1] Soon after her resignation (caused by incident in Thailand involving narcotics) she tried to retrieve her seat as Senator, claiming she was "forced" by the N-VA to resign.[2] Early October 2010 all procedures, as started by Geybels, to retrieve her Senate seat had failed.[3][4]

Political career

During the 2006 Belgian provincial and municipal elections Geybels did not get elected into the Municipal Council of Lummen for Lumineus Lummen.[5][6]

In April 2008 Geybels was elected into the (national) N-VA party council.[7]

Geybels was a candidate for the Flemish Parliament during the 2009 Belgian regional elections; but was not elected.[8]

Geybels was elected as a member of the Belgian Senate in the 2010 Belgian general election in June 2010.[9] On 19 July 2010 Geybels was chosen temporary Chairman of the youth wing of the N-VA (Geybels had been Vice Chairman).[10] On 31 August 2010 Geybels resigned on personal grounds (as asked by the N-VA[1]) as senator and as Chairman of the youth wing of the N-VA.[1][11] After her resignation Geybels stated (on 1 September 2010) she and a travel companion had been blackmailed by local drug mafia during a trip to Thailand;[12] she also stated she remained a member of the N-VA, but did not comment on her political future.[1] The N-VA also found it unacceptable she had hired her travel companion to Thailand as a personal assistant in the Senate as he was not screened by the party (he was also previously fired by the N-VA as an assistant of the Speaker of the Flemish Parliament Jan Peumans).[1][13] Geybels soon emphasised she "is not responsible for actions of travel companions".[14] Geybels was succeeded as senator by Piet De Bruyn.[11] As of 2 September 2010 the website of N-VA did not list her as member of the (national) N-VA party council (her successor as Senator Piet De Bruyn was listed as member).[15]

On 6 September 2010 Geybels demanded her mandate as Senator back, claiming she was forced to resign by N-VA leaders, and started the procedure to retrieve it.[2][4] If Geybels would return as a Senator she will not be accepted into the N-VA faction.[4][16]

Early October 2010 the N-VA suspended Geybels membership of the party and all legal procedures to retrieve her Senate mandate had failed.[3]

Political positions

Geybels believes rights and obligations go hand-in-hand.[17] Geybels sees good education, good healthcare and a social safety net as basic rights.[17]
