José Bové, député vert européen, s’est insurgé en conférence de presse de la politique menée par le PPE et les Socialistes européens. Il les accuse de court-circuiter la réforme de la PAC par des discussions en marge du parlement. Le parti vert européen tient à défendre ses positions. José Bové était au micro de Benoît Theunissen pour expliquer ses propositions en matière de réforme de la PAC.

Did you know that Belgium had drones?

The 80 UAV Squadron on the Florennes Air Base is in charge of the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) of the Belgian Army. These drones don’t wear weapons but optical tools. They fly as well in Belgium as abroad for prevention operation. Damien Spleeters and I met last week the men who make them fly.

Here is a few materials as a teaser. Enjoy and more to come in October in Le Vif/L’Express and on Apache.
