OUR OPINION. Growing up in a poorer area of the country and becoming a minister? Here it is possible
There is something to be said about our new Minister of Foreign Affairs. But let’s start with the one that immediately provokes the most resistance. Hadja Lahbib (52) was a journalist. A foreign journalist. Not one that dwelt in the ivory towers of diplomacy, but in the field. A journalist who makes it to minister? It remains to be seen whether that is a success, but to put it in the terms that are familiar to Lahbib: that is not breaking news. Look at Johan Van Overtveldt (N-VA) and Ludivine Dedonder (PS).
