Many people have been worried about Elio Di Rupo’s health condition in recent days. This Friday, the Walloon Minister-President received a call from his doctor ordering him to go to the hospital. He spent one night there.
This Monday morning, however, Elio Di Rupo had regained form. He was giving a press conference on the floods. He even told the journalists present that, if they wished, they could come and see his state of health in the afternoon during his fitness session. We took his joke at face value and went to meet him.

His knee is no longer a cause for concern either. Elio Di Rupo withdraws the last points tomorrow, memories of the operation he underwent in December. He had broken his kneecap during a nasty fall on the cobblestones of Mons.
