The House Committee for Interior Affairs will hold an extraordinary meeting on Thursday at 14:00 to question Interior Minister Bernard Quintin (MR) about the wildfire affecting the High Fens, committee chair Ortwin Depoortere confirmed on Tuesday.
Although the federal parliament is still in its summer recess, an extraordinary session can be convened in urgent circumstances.
The request was made by opposition parties Les Engagés, the PTB and DéFI in response to the fire in the High Fens.
Speaker of the House Peter De Roover approved the request.
