Critics from NVA the Consort Queen has just to do social and culturel !


To me that sounds a little desperate. Does Hendrik Vuye know that UN Sustainable Development Goals is a social project and the Queen was being informed about the plans?!!!
 
That sounds like a strange criticism..

Today, June 16, Queen Mathilde attended a working lunch with representatives of several major European institutions to learn more on the achievement of sustainable development goals within the European Union and the importance of dialogue in the pursuit of these objectives. Later she attended the 10th edition of the European Development Days.
