An interview with Ecolo co-president Rajae Maouane, published in a school textbook, is causing controversy. Faced with the media outcry, the publisher was forced to apologize, while indicating the reasons why this interview was included in the school textbook.
At a time when political parties such as the Independent Federalist Democrat (DéFI) and the Reformist Movement (MR) are calling for an end to ritual slaughter without stunning, former Belgian MP of Moroccan origin Rajae Mouane, co-chair of Ecolo, wants there to be a "global debate" on the subject.
The Belgian League against Anti-Semitism (LBCA) accused the co-chair of Ecolo Rajae Maouane , author of a controversial publication, of inciting anti-Semitic hatred. The Belgian-Palestinian Association (ABP), the Union of Progressive Jews of Belgium (UPJB) and the non-profit organization De-colonizer are defending the official.
The candidates for the co-presidency of Ecolo are two figures who embody experience in the person of Jean-Marc Nollet and youth, with Rajae Maouane , two values on which the hopes of the Belgian political party are based.
