"She ate Jenny from the block, then the whole block. "
"Maggie De Block, more like mange le bloc"
But really, is there any better metaphor for the bloated bureaucracy then that woman's killjoy scowl and shadow over everything?

From my experience fat women in positions of power always end up being hollow and pedantic bureaucrats with no practical purpose and no sense of humor whatsoever.

This sums up the failure of the leftist govt./mindset in one simple picture.
The end result of a big brother govt. is things being so upside down that an morbidly obese woman is paraded around as the minister of health and no one dares question it for fear of having to answer to the new SS which is the PC feel good police.

Makes perfect sense. Most government officials are useless or destructive wastes of space.
Rather than expecting her to accomplish something good by her actions, she will at least act as a visual warning to other unhealthy people.

This is like The Joker running Arkham Asylum.
Is it some kind of Belgian humour? I'm sure the press over there is having a field day with parodies?

Some people are mixing things up here. I definitly don't approve her appointment and think it is ridiculous, but to clarify.
-The current government who appointed her is the most right wing gov in about 70 years. This is not a weak right government as claimed.
-She got popular for her strong hand in settling immigration issues, basically refusing a lot of immigrants and making policy a lot clearer and more strict. Her popularity comes from this and in general policy reviews her work is regarded as a job well done on that aspect.
-Some flemish media as well as in social media are coming down hard on this issue of her being Minister of Health, what a ridiculous move to appoint her in this in the first place, but I'm sure it was just political games between parties as it always is in Belgium.
And also @blink & Mang: You must be kidding. There is a big difference in European countries not wanting to have anything to do with wars in Africa or things in the ME and not having military capacity. Poland invading Western Europe, not a chance. I agree that in relation they spend a lot less than the US on defense, which I believe is a great thing in fact. But to think Western Europe is up for grabs because of this is non sensical, especially given the unity of these nations to fight as one if necessary.
