Belgium’s Anti-Trump Prime Minister Resigns as Europe’s Right-Wing Rises in Shock Elections

President Donald Trump is getting the last laugh after this weekend’s shock elections in Europe. 'Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo'

Belgian PM De Croo announced resignation after his party’s defeat in EU elections

Belgium’s Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announced his resignation after being defeated in the European elections, according to Belgian media.

His announcement came after a significant loss of his party, Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open VLD), which won only 5.9 per cent of the vote.

Tomorrow I will resign as prime minister.

Despite the disappointing results, De Croo stated that the Liberals were “strong,” promising the comeback. Although De Croo will step down, he can retain his position on an interim basis until a new government is in place.

Belgium will continue to hold the presidency of the European Council until 30 June 2024. The presidency rotates every six months between member states.

On 8 December, De Croo stressed in a statement that in addition to the European continent, people in the Middle East faced a terrible war. He is also among the European leaders who have spoken out the most against Israel’s war in Gaza.

His visit to Israel and Palestine in November, along with his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sánchez, prompted the administration of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to criticise the remarks they made about the situation in the Gaza Strip.

Belgium put a proposal to ban violent settlers in the West Bank from entering European territory on the agenda of the final summit of EU leaders this year. However, MPs did not reach a consensus on the issue.

Belgian PM Alexander De Croo was wiped out in the election.

He wanted to recognize Gaza as a state and do business with the Hamas terrorists.

Remember how Governor George W. Bush invited the Taliban to Texas? That didn't end too well on 9/11...

De peperbus van nonkel Miele (68): waardig uitsterven

Doemdenkbeelden en apocalyptische visioenen zijn van alle tijden. Maar vandaag liggen de kaarten anders. De Nederlandse Filosoof Lisa Doeland (*) schreef er een boek over. Het einde van de wereld voor de mens, dieren en planten is geen grote big bang. Het is een langzaam proces dat nu al bezig is met totale desintegratie op termijn als eindresultaat. We kunnen alleen nog pleiten en streven naar…

"La lutte contre la crise climatique est de loin la tâche la plus importante à laquelle notre génération doit faire face. C'est littéralement une question de vie ou de mort." Alexander De Croo

Dans Le Soir du 11 octobre 2023 Le Premier ministre se répète ! Il disait déjà la même chose lors de son discours de politique générale du 12 octobre 2021.

Le sol se dérobe-t-il sous les pas des politiques ? Sous les pas de ceux qui gouvernent ?

The Best News of Last Year

1. Belgium approves four-day week and gives employees the right to ignore their bosses after work

Workers in Belgium will soon be able to choose a four-day week under a series of labour market reforms announced on Tuesday.

The reform package agreed by the country's multi-party coalition government will also give workers the right to turn off work devices and ignore work-related messages after hours without fear of reprisal.

"We have experienced two difficult years. With this agreement, we set a beacon for an economy that is more innovative, sustainable and digital. The aim is to be able to make people and businesses stronger," Belgian prime minister Alexander de Croo told a press conference announcing the reform package.

2. Spain makes it a crime for pro-lifers to harass people outside abortion clinics

Spain has criminalized the harassment or intimidation of women going for an abortion under new legislation approved on Wednesday by the Senate. The move, which involved changes to the penal code, means anti-abortion activists who try to convince women not to terminate their pregnancies could face up to a year behind bars.

3. House passes bill to federally decriminalize marijuana

The House has voted with a slim bipartisan majority to federally decriminalize marijuana. The vote was 220 to 204.

The bill, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, will prevent federal agencies from denying federal workers security clearances for cannabis use, and will allow the Veterans’ Administration to recommend medical marijuana to veterans living with posttraumatic stress disorder.

The bill also expunges the record of people convicted of non-violent cannabis offenses, which House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said, “can haunt people of color and impact the trajectory of their lives and career indefinitely.”

4. France makes birth control free for all women under 25

The scheme, which could benefit three million women, covers the pill, IUDs, contraceptive patches and other methods composed of steroid hormones.

Contraception for minors was already free in France. Several European countries, including Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway, make contraception free for teens.

5. The 1st fully hydrogen-powered passenger train service is now running in Germany. The only emissions are steam & condensed water.

Five of the trains started running in August. Another nine will be added in the coming months to replace 15 diesel trains on the regional route. Alstom says the Coradia iLint has a range of 1,000 kilometers, meaning that it can run all day on the line using a single tank of hydrogen. A hydrogen filling station has been set up on the route between Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervörde and Buxtehude.

6. Princeton will cover all tuition costs for most families making under $100,000 a year, after getting rid of student loans

In September, the New Jersey Ivy League school announced it would be expanding its financial aid program to offer free tuition, including room and board, for most families whose annual income is under $100,000 a year. Previously, the same benefit was offered to families making under $65,000 a year. This new income limit will take effect for all undergraduates starting in the fall of 2023.

Princeton was also the first school in the US to eliminate student loans from its financial aid packages.

7. Humpback whales no longer listed as endangered after major recovery

Humpback whales will be removed from Australia's threatened-species list, after the government's independent scientific panel on threatened species deemed the mammals had made a major recovery. Humpback whales will no longer be considered an endangered or vulnerable species.

Climate change and fishing still pose threats to their long-term health.
