D'Haese has also served as the mayor of Aalst since 2013. In 2019, D'Haese became involved in a dispute with UNESCO after UNESCO threatened to remove the Aalst Carnival from its world list of cultural heritage due to what was seen as anti-Semitic imagery on a float at the carnival. D'Haese argued that the floats featured at the carnival were based on satire rather than racism; however, the float was condemned by fellow N-VA politician André Gantman, who is Jewish.[4]Unia, the Belgian independent arbitrator for matters concerning discrimination, found that no laws had been broken.[5] The incident led to widespread condemnation from multiple organizations, including the European Commission.[6]
