Kamal Kharmach - May I have a moment? 2026

The cold wars are back, but they have never been warmer. 2026 Is already one of the craziest years in ‘conference history”: presidents being kidnapped in Venezuela, citizens being shot in the US by anti-migration agents, Ukraine and Russia playing leapfrog with drones. These are turbulent times. In België it is not much better. Theo Francken who thinks he is playing Rambo, Zuhal Demir who has more arguments with students than Trump with Iran, and Bart De Wever who scores more abroad than Ruben van Gucht with women. Fortunately, Kamal Kharmach is there. The man who finds fuel in all that misery to make it a great evening, because the harder it is in the world to weep, the harder you have to cry with laughter at Kamal Kom watching — it will be hilarious. A bit like our VAT rules. Photo: Nathan Dobbelaere
