Belgian Minister Of Transport Resigns After Suicide Attack by Parcks(m): 11:56am On Apr 15, 2016 |
The Belgian transport minister has resigned over
accusations she ignored lapses in security at Brussels
airport before the attacks of 22 March.
Opposition parties had been demanding Jacqueline Galant
step down.
They had leaked a confidential EU document, dating from
2015, which criticised security measures at Belgium's
airports.
Attacks on Zavantem airport and a Brussels metro station
by so-called Islamic State left 32 people dead.
Prime Minister Charles Michel had previously defended Ms
Galant, and he had told parliament that her office had not
seen the critical EU report.
However on Friday morning, following the publication of
further documents on Thursday evening, Mr Michel said that
"contrary to what was communicated to me" the report had
been discussed, according to public broadcaster RTBF.
The report said the oversight of security measures at
Belgium's airports was flawed and cited serious
deficiencies in the way safety checks were managed. www.bbc.com/belgian minister quit in brussels airport security row. can this happen in Nigeria? |

She took the blame and also a good step at least to show how remorseful she is. If na naija they will be the one to drag the FG to court and start trading blames in a bid to hold on to the position. |
