While he was the guest of Les Puncheurs this Sunday, the President of the Belgian Labor Party created controversy. Questioned by Martin Buxant, Raoul Hedebouw made comments that shocked Internet users.
Martin Buxant then explained that in France, the abaya is banned at school. He then asked the party president what his opinion was on the question of the full veil, a different garment from the first. “I don’t have a problem with it, from the age of 8-9. The choice can be private ” declared Raoul Hedebouw.
He then added that he “needed to stop stigmatizing a population“. So Martin asks him, if “from 8-9 years old, the full veil is authorized in schools“, for the Belgian Labor Party. But Raoul then affirms that he does not “wish not“, claiming that he is “ once morest community withdrawal“.
On social networks, this passage from the show sparked strong reactions. It was not only Internet users who reacted to this, since political leaders also commented on this sequence. David Clarinval, Deputy Prime Minister MR, affirms that “The PTB is therefore for wearing the full veil (Abaya) from the age of 8 or 9 at school. There are no limits to the collective delirium among Belgian communists” :
The PTB is therefore for wearing the full veil (Abaya) following 8 or 9 years of school. There are no longer any limits to the collective delirium among Belgian communists.

The president of Défi, François De Smet, also posted a message on these remarks:
We can therefore, in 2023, claim to be Marxist and find it normal for 8-year-old girls to wear the veil.
Communitarianism definitely wins everything. Even revolutionary values and the fight once morest alienation. The wreck of the PTB is total.

Flemish Minister Zuhal Demir judged that the PTB was “a threat to democracy” :
A marriage between religious and political totalitarian thinking. The @pvdabelgie @ptbbelgique is a threat to democracy and enlightenment.

“A marriage between religious thought and totalitarian political thought. The PTB is a threat to democracy and the Enlightenment“.
During an interview with 7 sur 7, the president of the PTB states that “the question was confusing enough not to say more than that“According to him, he did not distinguish between the two garments and would have answered for the abaya and not the full veil.”There was confusion on my part too, the interview was tight. There was confusion in the question regarding the abaya. The very mixture was made by the journalist” said the party leader.
To be clear: despite attempts at confusion, the question asked by the journalist obviously related to the abaya (dress) and which is the subject of debate in France, not to the full veil which covers the entire face (burqua).
I am once morest the abaya ban in school and for the burqua ban— Raoul Hedebouw (@RaoulHedebouw) November 13, 2023
