(Brussels Times) Commotion took place at a municipal council meeting in the Brussels commune of Jette on Wednesday evening: several councillors left the meeting after the Palestinian flag was called “the flag of a terrorist movement” during a debate on its presence in front of the town hall.
Members of the Francophone socialist party PS, the Belgian Workers’ Party (PVDA/PTB) and Team Fouad Ahidar left the meeting after the leader of the MR-Open VLD group Olivier Corhay called the Palestinian flag “the flag of a terrorist movement,” RTBF reports.
Videos on social media show that he also called the leader of the Socialist Party (PS) group, Leila Agic, a “terrorist.”
