After any tragedy, the question of responsibilities arises. If this attack was able to occur, it is proof of a new failure. There will be many responsible people to point out.
And then there are those who might be tempted to use this attack. “Vivaldi sees this attack as a lever for a tougher return policy“. This is the analysis we read in De Standaard. According to the Flemish daily, Nicole de Moor is experiencing her most difficult days as Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration.
“Others have already, or will, wave the security banner and a nauseating minority will try to stir up hatred and fear within the population. […] While the foundation of a society is living together“. This is what the editorialist of L’Avenir writes.
In any case, this is a politically very dangerous time. The Prime Minister and all the authorities concerned are aware of this, writes Béatrice Delvaux. The editorialist of Evening says he perceives in them a great excitement, a nervousness. “Too many apparent flaws, too many moments where the assassin Abdesalem Lassoued could (should?) have been put out of a position to potentially cause harm appeared over the hours with the revelations of the Belgian journey of this man of Tunisian origin under the an injunction to leave the territory.” So yes it is difficult to stop a lone wolf. Yes it is true that Tunisia is not at all cooperative when it comes to recovering its nationals expelled from Belgium. “But the line of defense of the government, the intelligence services and the police is fragile and the opposition this Wednesday in the House will give it a serious blow“, predicts Le Soir.
The editorialist nevertheless points out that if Vivaldi is bad at anticipating and monitoring terrorist candidates, it is on the other hand effective when it comes to managing the crisis. During the last twenty-four hours, “whether in the management of the threat to the collection of information, the evacuation of the stadium, the protection of the Swedish supporters and the capture of the assassin – not really hidden, let’s admit – they (the authorities NDRL) performed.”
