Prime Minister Bart De Wever (N-VA) went to Berlin today to speak with his German colleague Friedrich Merz under four eyes. During a press conference in retrospect, the Chancellor was asked by journalist Rob Heirbaut (VRT), who had also dropped to the German capital for reporting. Heirbaut wanted Merz and De Wever about Palestine. Not in German, but … in English. “Unakzept table”, De Wever muttered, who then played his dry humor behind the microphone. “I’m going to try in German, but I don’t know if you will understand,” Heirbaut said.
