Por the first time in our history, PS and PTB will govern together. Mons opens the ball (the authorities validated the agreement Thursday evening), this could happen in two or three Brussels municipalities, Molenbeek, Forest, Schaerbeek.
What about this new type of alliance, completely left-left? Under what conditions is the PS venturing in this direction? Why is the PTB leaving?
However, these alliances with the PTB are not the result of a slogan or a line printed on Boulevard de l’Empereur. Paul Magnette takes note, he underlined during the last political office, last Monday, how all this related to various local situations, but the initiatives are not framed. The PS is going there in dispersed order. This, all the more so because internally, if they are viewed with curiosity as a general rule, with interest sometimes, they inspire the greatest distrust, even hostility, in some.
