Politicians who work at night are primarily unable to plan

AD28 September · 18:591 hour ago

Writer Özcan Akyol criticizes the political culture of marathon overnight sessions, citing Belgian Vice Premier Hilde Crevits and her aide falling ill after negotiating the Flemish budget. Akyol argues that such endurance tactics reflect poor planning and self-overestimation rather than strength, noting that businesses avoid this unproductive practice. He contrasts the romanticized image of exhausted negotiators with the reality that sleep-deprived officials cannot make optimal decisions for the country. The article expresses hope that Crevits recovers quickly and adopts a more responsible approach to governance.
