Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that, in his opinion, the media repeatedly selected testimonies from people who were active in the PVDA in reports about the consequences of a smaller government. He stated that one of them said they had to skip meals due to the policy but had money for solidarity trips to Cuba. The measure in question limited child benefits to the age of 23, Vande Reyde wrote. He added that there were exceptions for cases with valid reasons and risk of poverty, but claimed that these did not apply to the activists involved. According to Vande Reyde, the same PVDA activists were at the forefront of various protests, from climate marches to protests against coalition agreements. He also claimed that the media once portrayed an adult PVDA member of parliament as a protesting student. Vande Reyde wrote that this kind of reporting was a reason for the historically low trust in the media. #Media #België #PVDA (translated)
