For several days, we followed the big winner of the elections on the French-speaking side, Georges-Louis Bouchez. Focus on a particularly important day: that of an interview between Bart De Wever and the president of the MR.

In the north of the country, it was Bart De Wever’s party (N-VA) which rose to first position, ahead of Vlaams Belang. Not hesitating to negotiate with the Dutch-speaking party, the president of the Reform Movement spoke with Bart De Wever on June 13 during a secret meeting.
During the trip, Georges-Louis Bouchez says he is calm before this interview and explains what he thinks of Bart De Wever. “So, he’s not a cordial person, but he’s an interesting person. I really like talking with him, because it’s always interesting to talk with intelligent people.“.
A clear instruction
“To be able to accompany the president of the MR before this interview, he gave us instructions to respect: not to speak to anyone about this meeting between the two politicians before it takes place. And this, in order to not to offend his interlocutor, he explains ‘If it fails at the first meeting, that complicates everything, my ambition is above all to make it work,’ adds Georges-Louis Bouchez.
What is certain is that this interview could prove crucial for the future. “We are going to share some main points and see each other’s ambitions.“, the president of the MR confides to us during the journey.
