This week, RTL Info obtained the “supernote” by Bart de Wever. In this one, we learn that the Belgians will have to make financial efforts. But also, the public authorities and … the king. It is, in fact, provided that the royal allocation is decreased by two million euros.
In Bart de Wever’s “supernote”, which leaked this week, we learn that the royal allocation will be reduced by two million euros. But what does this imply concretely? Fewer trips, fewer holidays, a cheaper car …?
Shortened trips
According to Thomas de Bergeyck, an expert in royalty, it could involve several things. Regarding trips, they would not be canceled, but shortened. There could be fewer events organized at the palace, fewer meetings, fewer receptions. The palace could also change service providers and opt for those who are cheaper. Also, play on personnel costs.
If the king is forced to make savings too, it could be done, but on condition that it is as little as possible, so as not to harm the prestige of the monarchy.
In fact, what costs the most in this endowment is security, but on that, there is no question of touching it. And this all the less since there is always a threat, we have still seen it with the arrest of this 14 -year -old extreme right who intended to attack a mosque.
