“A dark day for democracy”, “free-ride is over”…: Belgian politicians react to Donald Trump’s victory

On the Ecolo side, the co-presidents speak of a “black day.”Legality. Decency. Freedom. Brotherhood. Respect for planetary boundaries. All our values ​​are being trampled by Donald Trump, the most dangerous President ever elected to lead the USA. A dark day.”writes Samuel Cogolati. “It is a dark day for our values ​​of democracy, justice, protection, equality and it is the victory of climate skepticism. It’s a dark day for each and everyone who brings these fights to the United States.”insists Marie Lecocq.

“The man who sows hatred and division regains power. The man who wants to restrict abortion, expel migrants, undermine the rule of law, ruin the climate… Europe will have to be stronger than never in the next four years to counterbalance”regrets Nadia Naji, co-president of Groen.

“Strategic autonomy will become more than ever the hot topic in Europe. Let’s focus on Belgium because today it is the turn of candidate commissioner Hadja Lahbib to prove herself during the hearings”tweets former Flemish minister and current MEP Wouter Beeke (CD&V).
