Georges Dallemagne Load Ecolo for his participation in CIIB: “In Belgium, we left this organization prosper”
Regular accusations
“The subject returns regularly to the press and therefore in our agenda since the creation of our organization in 2014. But this is the first time that we are directly asking for the opinion of the first interested parties”reacts Mustapha Chairi to the DH. The former director stands for this answer, however, since he left the CIIB CA in June 2024 to focus on preparing for his pension “Next year and far from Belgium “.
For Senator El Hajaji and the Tahar deputy, the answer is formulated by the party. “”Georges Dallemagne turns without embarrassment in conspiracy and these accusations are delusional! “reacts strongly Ecolo.
“The words of Georges Dallemagne come under a coarse political maneuver, totally delusional, aimed at discredit Ecolo by fueling a conspiratorial imagination without the slightest foundation. At Ecolo, our CAP is clear: we have always defended an inclusive, pluralist and democratic society, based on equality, fundamental freedoms and respect for the rule of law. This implies tirelessly fighting against all discrimination – whether racist, anti -Semitic, Islamophobic, sexist or homophobic – and to firmly fight all extremism, wherever they come from. These fights are complementary, not contradictory. “
“Imaginary conspirator”
Ecolo says it refuses “The dangerous amalgams which aim to stigmatize people on the basis of their name, their origin or their faith, in a barely veiled attempt to criminalize the political and citizen commitment of people from diversity “.
The Greens say that Ahajib El Hajjaji and Farida Tahar are parliamentarians recognized for “their seriousness, their commitment and their attachment to social justice, human rights and equality “. The accusations of Georges Dallemagne are, according to Ecolo, “slanderous and insulting “ In view of their journey and their work. These accusations also produce effects (insults, threats and aggression) that Ecolo cannot tolerate.
“We will continue to act for a fair and open society, where each person has their place. And we will not give in to fake news, at attempts to division, or to those who seek to settle their personal accounts with Ecolo by spreading lies to try to obtain any media visibility.”

This statement from the Minister was made in response to a question relating in particular to the CIIB case.
