BELGIUM, THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL IN TIMES OF COVID -19 PANDEMIC

Unhappy Belgian health workers welcomed their Prime Minister, Sophie Wilmes, with disrespect 

Dissatisfied and disappointed health workers, over how the Belgium Prime Minister, Sophie Wilmes, has handled the current coronavirus situation in the country,  showed their disrespect to their leader at the weekend.

The Prime Minister, who was visiting Saint-Pierre Hospital in Brussels in a convoy, was greeted by protesting health workers who turned their backs toward her.

Since the coronavirus emerged from Wuhan, China, December, last year, Sophie Wilmes’ government has faced several criticisms over the handling of the COVID – 19 pandemics.

Belgium has so far recorded 55,280 cases and 9,052 deaths but that doesn’t call for such disrespect to their Prime Minister, especially in a time like this that everyone needs support.

Africa is a continent that has suffered many tragedies, including slavery, colonial brutalities, Apartheid, Aids and Ebola pandemics, yet we neither treat our leaders nor those responsible whenever they visit Africa in this way.

This is a sign of weakness than unity and strength.  It’s a shame.
