Why the nomination of Hadja Lahbib as European Commissioner does not please everyone: “Many questions about the procedure”

The choice of Hadja Lahbib as candidate for European Commissioner is contested by the other political parties, those who risk finding themselves in opposition at the federal level. Here are their arguments.

The news broke this Monday afternoon and it confirms the rumor. The MR is proposing Hadja Lahbib as a candidate for the position of European Commissioner. At the Socialist Party, a source speaks anonymously.There are many questions about the procedure. The application is considered quite weak.” she tells us.

Invited to the Bel RTL morning show, the co-president of Ecolo also spoke on the subject.What I regret a little in this whole process, which, it must be said, is a little awkward and has lasted a little too long, is that it has become the game of a single party president. Ultimately, it has become a single question of casting the person. Whereas here, we are still talking about a European project. And you know that in Belgium, we are still used to having commissioners of a certain stature, of a certain independence.“, declared Samuel Cogolati.

Another topic concerning Hadja Lahbib – the maintenance of her presence on the municipal lists of Schaerbeek. So what do the inhabitants think about it?It bothers me. If she is designated, but without being present or effective, it is a little abnormal all the same.“, a Schaerbeekois shares with us.”I find that it doesn’t seem very coherent when we ask the question like that. But if it’s to bring visibility to the other members of her party, I can understand, she’s part of a group and so, she wants to support the group she works with and the projects they lead.“, says another.

Contacted, Georges-Louis Bouchez reacted: “We never lied about what was at stake. Hadja was already Minister of Foreign Affairs and therefore committed to carrying out the liberal project, bringing her expertise and reputation to the group and committing to Schaerbeek, also by allowing new profiles to emerge.“.

Promoted to Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2022, two years later, Hadja Lahbib now has Europe on her doorstep.
