Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
During debates in the Parliament of the Belgian capital, Brussels, the Minister of Meeting left early Thursday to pick up his child from nursery school. The opposition called it a "disgrace."
 "We always expected that ministers with great power and high wages would work for a long time and ignore their parental role," local media reports quoted. Some wondered, is a prominent politician who stops working at 6 pm a sign of mismanagement?
During a debate in the Brussels Parliament, Minister Alain Maron (Green Party) left the debates in Parliament to pick up his daughter from the nursery and a debate arose in the Brussels Parliament because Minister Alain Maron announced that he would have to leave the meeting to pick up his daughter from the nursery. Some said, "Women have been working for decades and have never been treated with the same leniency as men." The matter caused an uproar in the Flemish Parliament after Parliament Speaker Lisbeth Homanns (N-VA) said that "children can stay with their father" if childcare must be closed. A different kind of this debate also sparked controversy in the Brussels Parliament yesterday.
At the beginning of the meeting of the Committee on Health and People's Aid, the Minister of Health of the Government of Brussels, Alain Maron, announced that the speaking time would be limited because he must be in the nursery at 6 pm to pick up his daughter, not everyone reacted positively.
"The minister could have found a solution. Women all over the world are finding solutions," said Liberal MP Vivian Teitelbaum (MR).
"But women have been working for decades and have never before been treated with the same kindness as men," Teitelbaum continues. Parliament with young fathers
Brussels Member of Parliament Juan Bengomía Moreno (the Greens) was dumbfounded by the discussion of this fact. He said that Minister Maroun had announced earlier that he should go to the nursery on time. The opposition considered it outrageous and said that someone else should go get the baby or that the minister should offer a solution. But is this a solution can the minister? Can't he go and get his baby? "
Moreover, it is not the case that the Minister finished after fifteen minutes, we sat there for four hours and ten minutes for a not short intervention, he answered everything, and ironically some of the deputies had left before him. "

“It is a hallucination that not everyone realizes that we have not been in a parliament for 40 years only with old men whose wives have always been at home. We have a parliament with many young fathers and they also want a family life and are looking for that balance.”
Brussels opposition member Bianca Debaets (CD&V) also thinks this is a good sign that this time the man is the one who says he should take his children. “It is a strong signal because in the past this task has often been in the place of women. I also think it is good that the politicians themselves lead by example.
A spokesman for Alain Maron, Simon Vandami, says there is no reason to argue. The discussion was yesterday (Thursday), Minister Maron answered all the questions. Moreover, Minister Elke van den Brandt was present and answered all the questions after the Minister left
