Flour, eggs, a pie… Georges-Louis Bouchez is undoubtedly the Belgian politician who has received the most food items on his face during this legislature. The latest is this cream pie which was vigorously applied to her face during a signing session at Fnac in Liège.
“The pie was not so bad, but my eyes were still itchy,” says the president of MR. However, the episode is not likely to make him change his behavior. No question for the liberal to walk framed by bodyguards. “I won’t let a few idiots change my closeness to people. It’s my trademark and I don’t intend to lose it. In addition, I am lucky to count on the presence of two rather strong drivers.”
The Montois deplores “the extremely sneaky character” of the attack. “I was taken by surprise. I have already received flour and eggs on the face. It is unacceptable, but it was at the heart of a demonstration, not on conquered ground. Here, what was pernicious is that the attack took place in a cozy setting where we were confident.
Georges-Louis Bouchez scaly: the author of the facts justifies his gesture
The perpetrator is Etienne Lorent, CPAS adviser in Stoumont, who was on a local PS-Ecolo list, VivrEnsemble. The entarteur affirmed that he carried no real political claim. What makes the pie react. “We are really in the register of personal hatred. This desire to want to approach me very close to do the trick, that’s what is worrying. There should be a limit. The next shot will be a spray, then a weapon?”
On Saturday, the leader of the Liberals filed a complaint directly once morest the activist. He now demands a political response from his colleagues. “Etienne Lorent is a local representative, a well-established left-wing activist, who was on a PS-Ecolo list. Jean-Marc Nollet and Paul Magnette [respectivement co-président d’Ecolo et président du PS, NdlR] must take a stand. I expect an apology from Ecolo. I expect that we tighten the bolts in relation to elected officials. With us, such an act would result in an exclusion.”
Neither Ecolo nor the Socialist Party wished to react. Albert André (PS), president of the CPAS of Stoumont, told us that Etienne Lorent was no longer on the VivrEnsemble list.
”I am not part of any political formation and do not make claims for any cause in particular. My political convictions belong to me and I find representatives of it in several parties. I have various civic and voluntary commitments for causes that are dear to me”, confirms Etienne Lorent.
“Sociologically”, the Stoumontois claims to be even rather “part of the public of the MR”. Independent managing his TPE, he “works without counting the cost” and lives “in a financial and socio-cultural comfort that can be described as privileged”. This media gesture is above all for him “a way of bringing back to everyone the character [de Georges-Louis Bouchez] to its ridiculous dimension”.
