First there is this morning tweet (well, this X), from the Minister of the Interior. “Arson in Brussels and Wallonia must stop,” writes Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) on the social network. Before being blown by the mayor of the City of Brussels, Philippe Close (PS). “No matter how much I search, I am not aware at this time of a fire in a school in the territory of the Brussels Region,” replies the Brussels mayor, still on X.
