On May 1, it is traditional for several political parties and for unions to organize meetings. It is also an opportunity for the leaders of these organizations to go up to the gallery. This May 1, 2025 is no exception.
It is also the first May 1st since the entry into function of the new governments in the federalty and in the regions (except in Brussels) and communities. The policies led by these executives have already been talked about a lot. There is no doubt that in leftist political parties, in opposition, there will be enough to feed the words. The PS is organizing various events this May 1, in Wallonia and Brussels. The president of the PS, Paul Magnette, who already spoke on Wednesday evening near Charleroi, puts the cover at the end of the morning in Mons.
The PTB meets in different cities in the country. President Raoul Hedebouw has planned to speak in Brussels.
On the union side, several meetings are planned. The president of the FGTB, Thierry Bodson addresses his activists in Namur.
As for the MR, it was in Charleroi that President Georges-Louis Bouchez brings together his troops to, as he announced on X, “celebrate work“. The MR did not choose Charleroi at random. The governments in which he participates are engaged in reforms, especially those of the labor market.”In Wallonia, we inherited a difficult situation with a employment rate of 66% and in Charleroi, one in three inhabitants lives below the poverty line. This is why we chose this city as a gathering place for our great congress of May 1, symbol of an urgent need for renewal“Commissioned the MR before his meeting.
