Royalty When our king, the Brussels fire brigade came to visit jump one thing especially in the eye: his new car. It comes to an electric Mercedes of almost 110,000 euro.

It had been clear that the king bowed to a climate-friendly model of car. A Mercedes S560e has a charging station need it, because it is a plug-in hybrid, and a few months ago there were already a few installed in the garage of the Royal Palace of Laeken. This particular model is popular because it is very fast to fully charge. It only takes one and a half hours before the battery is charged, in comparison with load times up to four hours at other models.

The king spoke earlier this year his support for the young klimaatbetogers. “An excellent expression of the resilience of our society and the wants to get together to give shape to our future. They are asking for a new, fairer, economic and social dynamics. And a fundamental change to our way of life – to such an irreversible disruption of the planet. The young people show ambition and deep feelings of authenticity and solidarity. They have a keen sense of the needs of our planet. Let them the place grant that they deserve, and with them a solid foundation to build them support.”

He was, however, criticism of, among other NVA: “He supports the protesters in words, but when that works? Is he perhaps take the train to Davos driven?”, early N-VA Member of parliament, Peter Buysrogge. “The king’s fleet greening and electric drive, he would solar panels can be installed on the royal domain, he would from now on with the train able to travel in Europe instead of relying on private flights of Defence. The possibilities are endless.”

Well, the king now has on one face forward the action to the word attached.
