Belgian environment minister resigns as her false allegation is exposed

A Belgian environment minister, Joke Schauvliege, has been forced to resign as her false allegation that she was informed by the security personals that the ongoing school students protest demanding climate action had been targeted against her has been exposed.

Earlier, shortly after the security forces confirmed that they had not passed any such information, she apologised publically for the untrue statement she made in a gathering of farmers.

But, the students were not ready to admit the apology. Most of them responded as if the statement insulted the youngsters who stand with the noble cause of demanding climate action.

The resigned minister received severe criticism. Most of those who came out publically against the resigned minister were youngsters and environmentalists.

The European school students have been organising protests across the continent for last few weeks demanding climate action. The movement, which started in Brussels, has rapidly spread to each and every corner of Europe. The movement is entirely controlled by the school students. So far, nothing relevant has been received to assume that there is anything other than the far of spontaneity behind the rapid spread of the movement across the Europe.
