Ecolo party seeks political resurgence following extreme summer climate events in Belgium

The Belgian Green party, Ecolo, is attempting to leverage recent extreme heatwaves and wildfires to regain political relevance amid poor polling numbers. The party's new leadership duo, Gilles Vanden Burre and Marie-Colline Leroy, aims to force climate policy back onto the agenda of the current governing coalitions. It remains uncertain whether these environmental events will translate into sustained electoral support for the party.
