Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has offered his support to Interior Minister Jan Jambon, who was facing criticism for telling a newspaper that Belgian Muslims cheered the Brussels terror attacks.

Jambon said in an interview with De Standaard Saturday that “a significant proportion of the Muslim community danced on the streets” after the March 22 attacks.

“They threw bottles and rocks at the police and media after [Paris attack suspect] Salah Abdeslam was arrested. That is the real problem: that third-generation migrants are turning their backs on our society and use violence. It all has to do with our policy,” Jambon said.

His remarks were attacked by opposition parties and Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo who said on Sunday that people need to be careful with generalizations.

Michel told news agency Belga that he was aware of expressions of support for the bombers and that the National Security Council had been informed, though he did not indicate how widespread these were. Such support “should not be generalized nor should it be concealed,” he said.

Frédéric Cauderlier, the prime minister’s spokesman, told broadcaster RTBF that these events occurred "in several parts of the country,” without specifying further details.
