On Wednesday, the group leader in the Flemish parliament and former party president Egbert Lachaert suggested that no official invitation had been sent to them. This would have arrived in the meantime, according to the VRT. The information was unofficially confirmed to Belga by several sources. In the trainer’s entourage, we want to remain discreet.
On the side of the Flemish liberals, the decision whether or not to join the federal government has not yet been made. Even if the lead is not yet concrete, the hypothesis is “seriously examined”, says a source.
Jean-Marie Dedecker supports the idea of a federal coalition with Open Vld
For independent MP Jean-Marie Dedecker, a federal government must be quickly formed with the Open Vld. This majority would only hold to one seat. Elected on an N-VA list, Mr. Dedecker assured his loyalty.
For the MP, it is clear that the path with Vooruit leads to an impasse and that a coalition with Open Vld must therefore be explored. “A small majority is also a majority,” he said on Thursday on the Villa Politica (VRT) show. “We are facing a fiscal crisis. As with the coronavirus, we must create an emergency government, called a provisional government, to avoid a fiscal crisis.”

Jean-Marie Dedecker assures that he will not obstruct such a coalition. “I think my influence is exaggerated. There are 76 of us (in this potential majority, editor’s note) and then the opposition must also be fully present,” believes the Flandrien. “I’m loyal as a person. For example, if I express my support on a socio-economic level, then I’m fully supportive.”
In the past, Jean-Marie Dedecker had sat on the benches of the Vld, before creating his Lijst Dedecker in 2007.
