But what becomes of this High Strategic Council now that a new Walloon majority (MR-Les Engagés) has taken the reins of the Walloon Region? Information received, its missions will evolve in the near future. In the office of the Minister-President, Adrien Dolimont (MR), it is explained that “the HCS will inherit new skills.” “It will have to support us from the start of 2025 on the declination of the regional policy declaration (DPR) into strategic axes and projects. We have had numerous preparatory meetings with their managers in recent weeks to begin work at the start of the school year..”
Ongoing evaluation
The new Walloon government, which announced at the start of the legislature that it wanted to evaluate the policies it pursues – both old and new – on an almost permanent basis, should therefore use the HCS to carry out this audit work. For the moment, the cabinet cannot yet specify exactly how things will take place. Nor how these future assessments will be made public – or not.
