In this time of health crisis where there are many rules to follow, it is better to always pay attention to what you post on social networks. Even Prime Minister Alexandrer De Croo learned it the hard way following the annual “digital” reception held by the Open VLD this Saturday evening.

During the evening, TV presenter Eline De Munck, who hosted the evening, posted a selfie in which we see her posing in front of Alexander De Coo and Egbert Lachaert, the present of the liberal party. Behind them, a group playing music on a small platform.

Needless to say that this photo, and the holding of this event more generally, caused a lot of reaction. Like An Capoen, a former member of the N-VA: “Dear fellow citizens. As long as you set up a TV studio in a large living room, you can do whatever you want, ”she tweeted wryly.

“I don’t like political settling of scores, but Alexander De Croo and Egbert Lachaert, you serve as an example. You have been asking the people for enormous efforts for a year. How do you think this Instagram photo is received? “, For his part tweeted the specialist of the respect of the private life Matthias Dobbelaere-Welvaert.

The spokesperson for the Open VLD reacted by explaining that the photo in question was misleading and that the distances between the Prime Minister and the president of the party were well respected during this interview which was livestreamed. It ensures that all the rules in force have been respected, as is the case on a daily basis in radio or television studios.

On Twitter, Egbert Lachaert also assured that everything had been done in accordance with the rules.
