🎧Minister Francken warns of Defense cuts: “Extremely unwise and not showing solidarity”

In the run-up to the budget talks, the department of ‘Tiger Theo’ was also not left undiscussed. Both Vooruit minister Frank Vandenbroucke and CD&V chairman Sammy Mahdi suggested cutting back on Defense. Competent minister Theo Francken (N-VA) responds extensively to these statements for the first time in our HLN podcast The Wetstraat Report. “As the only country in the world to spend less money on Defense? That is extremely unwise and not showing solidarity,” he warns.
