Sophie Wilmès, Minister of Foreign Affairs, reacted in RTL info 8am to the crisis shaking the United States, following the insurgency of pro-Trump protesters on Wednesday (see the report).
“It is a frontal attack on democracy, because they have invaded the places where the validation of the elections was to be done.“, she recalled. So it is”shock and amazement“.
“It is a major damage to the image of the United States, but as Joe Biden said, it does not reflect the soul of the United States. These images, however, have the effect of a bomb across the world. We are in front of something exceptional in the negative sense of the term“.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs, she believes there will be consequences. “The United States is a big country allied with Belgium, so we are following the situation closely. But we must let America manage its problem internally. The American people must accept the result of the election. Joe Biden is going to have an important job to bring together this population which is really fractured“.
