Does the sanitary cordon still have reasons to exist in 2023? Asking this question in French-speaking Belgium is often seen as opening Pandora’s box. And yet, with the approach of the elections, this question torments more and more people. The Vlaams Belang is currently the 4th largest party in number in the Chamber. Next year, he could achieve such high scores that a majority with the N-VA cannot be ruled out in Flanders. Currently, Flemish identity cards are predicted to have a score of 25%. In 2024, it will be difficult to circumvent. Can the French-speaking media continue to ignore this party? In our pages, the philosopher Philippe Van Parijs says no.

Recently, the excellent DaarDaar site, which translates articles from the Flemish press into French, took a beating for having handed the microphone to Tom Van Grieken. Last year, Georges-Louis Bouchez incurred the wrath of hell for having debated with his far-right counterpart. If the debate deserves to be open, it is nonetheless sulphurous.
