Euro 2021: Belgian and Walloon ministers support the Red Devils in song

2021-06-12T16:10:57.559Z


"Go, Go Belgium has scored": Belgian governments do not hesitate to support their team in an original way.


At the time of the Euro, the participating countries are finding a little chauvinism, but some more than others.

If French President Emmanuel Macron made the trip to Clairefontaine Thursday to support the Blues, he remained sober in terms of words and costume.

On the other hand, in Belgium, the love of the Red Devils cannot stand half measures.

This Friday, a few hours before the start of the competition and the first match of Eden Hazard and others, the Belgian federal government as well as that of Wallonia loudly displayed the colors of overseas Quiévrain.

RTL Belgium political journalist Antonio Solimando shared some pictures of the country's authorities dressed as supporters at the stadium, in full council, this Friday.

He also shared a rather tasty video from the Tik Tok of Elio Di Rupo, the Minister-President of Wallonia, where the Walloon government is cheerful in music for the cause of the Red Devils.

Walloon ministers are delighted with a local hit by Le Grand Jojo, “Goal Goal Gooaal”, released for the 2018 World Cup.

Elio Di Rupo, first supporter of the Red Devils also posted another video to the sound of "Devil Time", cover of "Hammer Time" by MC Hammer, where he puts on the jersey of the Belgian selection and tries out some juggling ...

The Belgian federal government is not left out since it has also posted a photo, with some of its members dressed in the jersey of the selection of Roberto Martinez.

At least that was needed to support a team that still hasn't recovered from its 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat against France.
