On 27 September, the Chaplain-President was honoured to attend the fête de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles held in the Hôtel de Ville in Brussels. In addition to three remarkable speeches from Philippe Close, Rudy Demotte and Pierre-Yves Jeholet - which acknowledged the economic difficulties facing Belgium today, as well as the need to counteract the rise of neofascist populism - the Chaplain-President was especially pleased to speak at length to the Ukrainian chargée d'affaires, Dr Natalia Anoshyna.
