Prime Minister makes an unseen, full-page kneel: “Politics must do better. I too have made mistakes.” | Interior

It is unprecedented for our country: the prime minister kneels in a full-page advertisement in all Belgian newspapers today. Alexander – not Alexander De Croo or ‘the prime minister’ apologizes to all Belgians in a presidential-looking open letter for the failure of politics and commits himself to positive change. This has presidential allures, says political scientist Carl Devos. “Not ‘the prime minister’ or De Croo, but the human being Alexander must respond to national unity.”
