cries from the law street

Anyone who slips in the Wetstraat or ends up in the rumor mill will sooner or later end up in this section.
Opposition
If Open VLD receives less than 10 percent of the votes in the elections, there is a good chance that the party will go into opposition. Chairman has that Tom Ongena on Sunday after a debate with Raoul Hedebouw (PVDA). VTM News said. Open VLD has been in the federal government for 25 years without interruption.
Green
The Sunday turned green this weekend – the editors made a special about sustainable living. The political interview, on the other hand, was blue. “We are the only party that says no to additional taxes,” Ongena said. He does want to cut back on the government and the prosperity envelope. “The unions will not be happy with our measures.” They will soon laugh at this chairman’s proposals.
Blanche
“We are certainly prepared to talk about state reform,” the man in blue replied when asked what he would do if he were given carte blanche over Belgium. After which Ongena confessed her colour. “But if you (N-VA chairman, ed.) Bart De Wever gives you the finger, then he takes your hand. We’re not going to do that.”
Insects
Ongena confessed something else in the same interview: his guilty pleasure during busy campaign times. “I hope that every now and then I find a free moment to take out my camera. That’s my little hobby.” What does he photograph?” Everything. A bird, an insect, a building.” And so the blue headpiece is also a bit of a green boy.
Ongena turns out even another guilty pleasure: YouTube videos about – yes – new techniques in photography. “That is ideal in the evening before you go to sleep. That gives me peace.”
Single
The time had a double interview with MR chairman this weekend Georges-Louis Bouchez and Frank Vandenbroucke Planned (ahead of time) but only the latter showed up. The MR was angry because the interview was not filmed, as had happened in previous episodes, we learn from the disclaimer. “Alternative solutions with photo and audio for distribution on social media were rejected by the MR, because according to the party they would ‘involve different treatment compared to previous interviews in the series’. The French-speaking liberals therefore chose to cancel the interview.” We call that walking blue.
