Vlaams Belang boycotts the Flemish Parliament in protest against absent ministers: “From Africa to America with this government”

“The most important country for every politician is and remains the interior”: Vlaams Belang denounced the absence of several Flemish ministers during question time in the Flemish Parliament on Wednesday and left the hemisphere in protest immediately after the opening of the plenary. “As many as five of the nine Flemish ministers are abroad. That shows very little respect for Flemish democracy,” says party leader Chris Janssens. The spokesman for Prime Minister Jan Jambon (N-VA) calls the criticism to our editors “next to the issue”.
