It has caused reactions in Belgium the participation of French-speaking party leader MR Georges-Louis Boucher in a Flemish reality show.
The show is called “Special Forces: The Daredevil Wins” and, as the Brussels Times explains, it involves 11 celebrities – including singers, actors and athletes – who attend a six-day training session in the Moroccan desert to join the special forces, the elite unit of the Belgian army.
Although several French-language newspapers have questioned the increasing exposure of politicians on Flemish television ahead of the 2024 elections, criticism of Bouchet has focused heavily on how his special forces training revealed his true character, the Brussels Times notes. “A seemingly cocky daddy’s boy who, during the military training tests, did so wrong almost to the point of parody,” reports Flemish newspaper De Morgen, noting that, at first, the other contestants still found him amusing, but no one he wasn’t laughing at the end.
Georges-Louis Boucher is not the first politician to appear on an entertainment program. The Flemish socialist leader Conner Rousseau was hiding in a bunny suit in The Masked Singer, Interior Minister Annelie Verlinden traveled to Greece for Viva La Feta and Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborn spent four days in prison for Recht naar de gesellschaft.
