biography

Olivier Deleuze studied agricultural science at the Université catholique de Louvain , where he graduated in 1977 as an agricultural engineer. As a conscientious objector , he did his community service in 1978 at Inter-Environnement Bruxelles , where he became vice-president. From 1977 he was also involved in the Friends of the Earth (Amis de la Terre) and in the workshop for urban research and action (Atelier de recherches et d'actions urbaines, ARAU).

Olivier Deleuze was in 1980 co-founded the ecologically oriented party Ecolo and moved to the Belgian parliamentary elections in 1981 with José Daras as one of the first two Ecolo MPs in the Belgian House of Representatives . In 1986 there were differences with the Ecolo party leadership, which negotiated with the Liberals and Christian Socials in the Walloon Regional Council , whereupon Deleuze resigned his mandate.

He now worked as an engineer for air pollution control at Syprim-Air Industrie. In 1989 he became director of Greenpeace Belgium. He held this post until 1995, when he was re-elected to the Belgian Chamber of Deputies and also chairman of the Greens (Ecolo and Agalev ).

After the great success of the Belgian Greens in the 1999 elections, Ecolo and Agalev formed a “rainbow coalition” with the socialists and liberals, in which Olivier Deleuze, as one of four Greens in the Verhofstadt government, was Secretary of State for Energy and Sustainable Development in the Ministry of Transport Ecolo was posed to Isabelle Durant . During his tenure, the Belgian government decided to phase out nuclear power in 2002 . When Belgium held the EU presidency in the second half of 2001, he headed the European delegation to the UN climate conference in Marrakech in 2001 .

Olivier Deleuze and Isabelle Durant left the federal government in May 2003 after irreconcilable differences over night flights . Fifteen days later, the Greens suffered a debacle in the 2003 elections. Although Olivier Deleuze had won a mandate, he gave it back, so that the successor Zoé Genot moved to the Chamber of Deputies for him. From 2004 to 2010 Deleuze was responsible for relations with civil society at the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in Nairobi .

In 2010 Olivier Deleuze returned to Belgium to run again in the House of Representatives elections, this time in Brussels-Hal-Vilvorde. He was then re-elected to the House of Representatives as chairman of the Greens.

In the Belgian local elections on October 14, 2012, Ecolo won the second most votes with Olivier Deleuze in Watermael-Boitsfort / Watermaal-Bosvoorde . Since Ecolo formed a coalition with Mouvement Réformateur (MR), Gestion municipale (GMH) and Center Démocrate Humaniste (CDH), Deleuzte replaced the previous incumbent Martine Payfa, so that he became the first green mayor of a municipality in the Brussels capital region.

At the Ecolo party congress in March 2012, Deleuze was elected to the party's dual leadership together with Emily Hoyos, replacing Jean-Michel Javaux and Sarah Turine . After the Greens failed in several elections, Emily Hoyos and Olivier Deleuze announced a party conference with new board elections for 2015, at which Zakia Khattabi and Patrick Dupriez prevailed.
