Staff from the Brussels hospital organized an honor guard, their backs turned, to Mrs Wilmès and her delegation. According to the CGSP, around 100 nurses, doctors, logistical helpers, cleaning staff, administrative staff, firefighters, etc. took part in this symbolic action.

The sector has very badly received the royal decrees providing for a requisition of personnel if necessary. The nurses felt that they had made enough effort and had been available enough throughout the health crisis.
Healthcare workers have also been calling for a revaluation of the profession for several months.
The Prime Minister said she came to bring a “message of appeasement”. “Everyone is aware of the plight of the hospital staff, who were already present before the crisis and who increased with the difficulties,” she conceded on the RTBF microphone. “I cannot imagine that the post-crisis period will be reduced to what it was before. The upgrading of the nursing profession will have to be structured. It’s a certainty. “
“There was an expression of unease, of a need for dialogue,” said the premiere. “There was a dialogue around the table. I think this is fundamental. You have to be able to hear when things are not going well, ”she reacted to the RTL microphone. The First was able to converse for forty minutes with the representatives of the disgruntled healthcare staff.
