Earlier in the day, Dutch-speaking trainer Elke Van de Brandt (Groen) had also rejected this idea. On the Dutch-speaking side, four parties agreed to enter the majority: Groen, Vooruit, Open Vld and N-VA. But the presence of Flemish nationalists is rejected by the PS. “At the moment, I have a table with a chair that is empty,” noted David Leisterh.

The French-speaking trainer reminds that the CD&V will not replace the N-VA on the Dutch-speaking side. This avenue has already been studied. “The Flemish coalition will stay like this. And so we must come to the table. If we love Brussels, we must come to the table,” he urged.
-David Leisterh was pessimistic about the future. “When there is Arizona (at the federal level), we will find ourselves in a terrible dynamic. The PS will play its role in opposition to the MR, the Engagés and the N-VA, who are potential partners in Brussels. This will further divide and strain relations, I fear.
To break the deadlock, the trainer says he leaves the door open for Ecolo, who has so far refused to take the majority. “It’s true that we led a very tough electoral campaign against Ecolo and Groen. I recognize that. But 6, 7 to 8 months later, when we love Brussels, it’s the kind of posture that I find difficult to understand.”
