J ’ avoue que j ’ espérais me tromper et sans vouloir vous offenser, Monsieur le Premier ministre, j ’ aurais aimé – comme tous les Belges – avoir devant moi aujourd ’ hui le chef du gouvernement issu du scrutin du 13 juin dernier.
I have to say that I had hoped I would be wrong and, without wishing to offend you, Prime Minster, like all Belgians, I would have liked to have before me today the Head of Government duly elected at the ballot box on 13 June.
