In his capacity as first deputy speaker of parliament, Filip Dewinter replaced Liesbeth Homans (N-VA) on Wednesday. This is not the first time and so far this replacement has always gone smoothly. But this time, the elected Vlaams Belang had decided to place the Flemish flag next to him.
The maneuver aroused the reprobation of the other parties and following lively debates in the hemicycle, the session was suspended in order to allow the Bureau to meet.
It resumed shortly following 2:30 p.m. It was finally decided that the Flemish flag might remain and that the question would be discussed once more at the Bureau meeting scheduled for Monday.
