For his show on January 17, Julien Bal was surrounded by various guests: Jean Kitengé, president of Défi Jeunes, Anne-Sophie Dekeyser, communications advisor and anthropologist, Arthur Martin, administrator of the Uccles youth service and Nawal Bensalem, editor in deputy head of the DH.
To begin his show, Julien Bal tackled a topic at the heart of the news: snow, which fell in abundance across the country. The chaos predicted on the roads ultimately did not take place. For Nawal Bensalem, “each time we announce a strike, the visit of a head of state, snow, etc., there will be no one on the roads”. She adds that “this is proof that the Belgians are cautious. We can congratulate them, obviously, but some exaggerate a little and find this pretext to stay warm at home and who don’t live very far from their workplace.”
Then, Julien Bal launched his guests onto the largest cruise ship in the world. The figures for this behemoth of the seas are enough to make one’s head spin: after seven years of work, the Icon of the Seas measures 365 meters long, can accommodate 5,610 passengers and 2,350 crew members with 40 restaurants on board and even a ice skating track. The builders claim that the boat respects the seas and the air. What do the guests think of this liner? “It’s a real disaster,” commented Jean Kitengé. “It shocks me […] it’s an ecological aberration, but it responds to a demand,” said Arthur Martin.
In the second part of the show, Julien Bal returned to absenteeism at work in Belgium. The phenomenon of prolonged absences is as difficult to resolve as long-term unemployment. Olivier Maüen, communications manager for the neutral union of independent workers, came to provide his opinion remotely: “Not a day goes by without a boss calling us to communicate a problem, to say that they are short of staff. It’s a constant problem. The bosses can’t find anyone anymore,” explained Olivier Maüen.
