The sequence passes after which, afterwards, there’s a small drink. We’re in a really small committee and we do not even talk about that particularly… I have not had any suggestions from a press officer or anybody else. As for my emotions, clearly, I’m not within the 8/9 with Sara De Paduwa, Cyril Detaeye or Bruno Tummers who’re laughing out loud.

On Raoul Hedebouw, then again, the place I arrived the least cheerful as a result of we had simply talked in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian battle for six minutes, it was not simple to maneuver on proper after that. It appeared somewhat lighter to me for the opposite three. However in any other case, in absolute phrases, a column of two minutes 45 may be very quick. It is just a bit adrenaline shot.
