The fact that Rousseau is looking forward to “bringing a stranger into a festival” was striking to many viewers. Political journalist Jan De Meulemeester suspects that Rousseau mainly wants to appeal to young people, although he doubts whether that is the right strategy. “I’m not sure whether ‘turning in’ is so popular with the youth,” writes De Meulemeester on Twitter.

It sounds like a politician indicating that this is possible just like that.
