The UN pact is created to "promote migration, to enhance media to promote migration, and to severely punish media that do not promote migration," right-wing Belgian MEP Gerolf Annemans said. Claiming he represents the views of 80% of Belgium, he added, "nobody believes this pact is a good thing for Belgium."
Arte editor Anja Waltereit disagreed with Annemans' statement and disputed his 80% estimation, saying she believed the pact was "to protect borders better and to fight against human trafficking."
