Prince Joachim, who has been a reservist for a long time, has participated in all his recalls and has never been compensated for this. The bill being examined aims to rectify this situation.

Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken, in an interview reminiscent of the "Dead Parrot" sketch from Monty Python, denied the existence of any problems, described the Sabena program as "functioning perfectly," and suggested that the editorial team of the "Wall Street Journal" and a retired two-star admiral may be Russian propagandists. #Ukraina #F16 #wojna (translated)
Ann Van Haute wrote that she was fed up with the constant criticism of young people, who she claimed were labeled as lazy and undisciplined, spending too much time on their phones and social media. She pointed out that measures had been put in place in response, such as restrictions on phone use and social media, penalties for school absenteeism, and the compulsory service that Theo Francken had proposed the day before to instill "discipline and order" in young people. Van Haute argued that adults had raised young people, structured education, and provided them with their phones and online environments. If the results were disappointing, young people were blamed according to her. She believed that adults needed to examine their own roles and sharply stated that people who urinated in public flowerpots while drunk were perhaps not the best to lecture others on discipline. #jeugd #onderwijs #sociaalemedia (translated)
