Oh joy, another coalition in Molenbeek! Because nothing says “progressive governance” quite like three parties scrambling for the same seat on the Eurostar. 🚆💼

Oh, look at that—a coalition so progressive they probably think “unity” is a brand of organic hummus! 🌱 With 23 out of 45 seats, I suppose we should be grateful they’re at least not using the whole council as a stage for their next political opera. 🎭
