VSIt doesn’t date from this weekend, but Vooruit is reluctant to enter a federal government largely dominated by the right and where it would be the only left-wing party.

Sammy Mahdi, the president of the CD&V, who affirmed that he intended to remain as president of his party and not join an executive, understood that it was necessary to bring Vooruit back to the federal negotiating table and wanted to reassure the socialists in By Zevende Dag, on the VRT: “On health care, one party is on the same line: Les Engagés. They have the highest growth standard of any program. With Les Engagés and the CD&V, Vooruit can find partners on a series of themes,” he declared, also pleading for regional coalitions to meet at the federal level.
