Belgium: The Belgian-Pakistani candidate for the regional elections, Rana Arbab, wants to become a member of parliament even though he does not speak any of the national languages

In the age of image campaigning and the need to be omnipresent on social networks, the candidates’ characteristics are more easily revealed. When all the aspiring MPs present themselves in front of the camera with short, quick-witted videos to introduce their ideas, one of them stands out. Rana Arbab, who is ranked 46th on the MR list, prefers to accompany his videos with music and let the images work or have himself translated on camera (by an AI). The reason for this choice is that the liberal candidate with Pakistani roots does not speak French or Dutch well. The same applies to Nasir Mohammad, a socialist councillor in the city of Brussels (although he is not in the election campaign). www.lalibre.be
