How cloudy is your view if you think that the average citizen earns 6,500 euros gross? Our party leaders think they are giants. They are dwarves

6,500 euros. The chairman of Ecolo held up that sign when asked what she thought the gross median salary in our country was. So that is 3,728 euros, not 6,500 euros. Politicians like Marie Lecocq are unworldly. But even more unworldly than not knowing the figures, writes columnist Jan Segers, is knowing that you have to save at least 10 billion and not acting on it, like the party leaders in the De Wever government. “They think they are political giants. They are dwarfs.”
