OUR OPINION. “It took four years before the rape was convicted. Zuhal Demir could rightly be excited about that.”

She flies in with her feet forward. For example, Zuhal Demir (N-VA) is known in the Wetstraat. But then you also run the risk of tripping over your own feet. As Minister of Tourism, she temporarily withholds subsidies for her own alma mater, the KU Leuven. Because as Minister of Justice she is unhappy about how KU Leuven handled a rape case. She uses her own powers to express contempt. Thumbs down, subsidy gone. What’s next? It’s an inclined plane.
