Joelle Maison, a member of Parliament from Brussels and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, was invited to tour the news on BX1 on Saturday 27 March.

A news that still revolves mainly around the management of the pandemic for a little over a year. This is at a time when the population is running out of steam, especially in the face of measures sometimes considered incoherent: "I feel that the balance between measures and membership is broken. I think we should have gone beyond the health issue in the expert group, taking for example shrinks, the general delegate for the rights of the child, specialists in youth," says Joelle Maison. "With regard to the curfew in Brussels, uniform curfews throughout the country would have been desirable but Brussels is different from the rest of the country and then we made the choice to give special powers to the regional government. It is to enable it to manage things quickly with an after-the-fact ratification of the Brussels Parliament, we must not question the democratic legitimacy of these decisions. At the French Community, Joelle Maison has been campaigning for months for March to be synonymous with teacher vaccination: "With Christophe Magdalijns, we have been asking since December to vaccinate teachers. We're still in the short term. What have we done today? All the children have been put on leave for 3 weeks, many of them are left to their own devices. And in the meantime, no action is taken in the long term, teachers, babysitters, childcare workers, PMS are still not vaccinated. Teachers need to be vaccinated not only to prepare for the end of the school year, but also and above all to prepare for the next one. In September, there will be big psychological and learning gaps to catch up. But for that, you need teachers. »
