"Difficult to swallow" and "humiliating": appointment of Hadja Lahbib as foreign minister causes resentment within MR

The former news anchor of the French-speaking public broadcaster RTBF was proposed on Friday by chairman Georges-Louis Bouchez as the successor of fellow party member Sophie Wilmès.
