We contacted the president of the Walloon Parliament, André Frédéric. Beyond the arrival of Tom Van Grieken at this ceremony, André Frédéric would like to emphasize that the ceremony “was a real success“. “There were lots of people there and everyone was delighted with the way in which Wallonia was being honored“, adds the President of the Walloon Parliament.
Regarding the presence of the President of Vlaams Belang, “something disturbed the party“, believes André Frédéric. However, he explains, the official ceremony should not be reduced to this presence.
Why was Tom Van Grieken there? This is due to his function as vice-president of the House in the federal Parliament. “He is vice-president and, as such, all the offices of the assemblies are invited“, specifies André Frédéric.
It is the services of Parliament which send the invitations. “And this year, Tom Van Grieken came“, points out André Frédéric.
Note that the ambassadors of countries with representation in Belgium are also invited, whether they are democratic states or more problematic states.
For the President of the Walloon Parliament, the real question to ask about Tom Van Grieken is “how come so many people vote for the far right in Flanders“, giving weight to Vlaams Belang and allowing this party to win a position of vice-president in the Chamber.
In the home stretch before the next regional and federal elections, did the president of Vlaams Belang judge that there was a good communication move to play by making this trip to Namur?
