    I mean, as a well driller in Belgium i can say that she pushed hard against illegal drilling after Pano released a devastating episode two years back. She pushed for massive reforms and forced us to form a (beroepsvereniging) that would take responibility in order to minimize ecological damage.

    She made my job twice as hard with these reforms but looking back at it… She did the right thing.

    This time to me it seems like she is taking into account the grievances of our farmers, wether it’s for votes or genuine concern is imo besides the point. She’s doing her job and she’s one of the hardest working politicians in Belgium with an enormous understanding of the dossiers she manages.

    I have a massive amount of respect for her because of it.

      I think she is the best minister for the environment we’ve had in decades. But her climate policy is just one blazing middle finger to everyone under 40.
