Vooruit MP and presidential candidate Conner Rousseau issued a warning last week to other parties likely to form an Arizona coalition. The chances of his party entering a government are slim. At issue: the draconian savings that the N-VA and the MR want to make in health care (by considerably limiting the growth standard) and the refusal of the same parties to make the big fortunes contribute. The president of the party Melissa Depraetere in turn spoke in this direction this weekend, while violently tackling the president of the MR, Georges-Louis Bouchez.
“Vooruit must not be afraid. The best way to protect health care or avoid right-wing politics is not to leave the field only to the MR and the N-VA. Vooruit, the CD&V and the Engagés must form as centrist parties a counterweight to protect health care and refinance the medical world,” said Mr. Prévot.

The president of the French-speaking centrists also repeated his reservations – not a veto – to see his N-VA counterpart, Bart De Wever, become Prime Minister. The nationalist leader has hurt people in Wallonia with his statements; it is up to him to prove that he can bring the Belgians together, through his words and his ideas, believes Maxime Prévot.
