Charles Spapens, future mayor of Forest, was a guest on Bonjour Bruxelles.
On Tuesday, the Forest majority was announced. It is made up of the PS, Ecolo and the PTB. If the three parties have yet to agree on a text of political declaration, their leaders have officially announced that the convergences achieved in their long preliminary discussions have created a climate of confidence and “allow us to develop a serious, realistic and coherent project for a prosperous municipality”.

“The majority agreement must be supplemented, particularly at the level of skills“, he continues. “There were long discussions, particularly depending on everyone’s programs..”
Is the PTB becoming a “competitor” that we can work with? “The PTB is an adversary, but not an enemy“, continues the future mayor. “It is not a liberticidal party.” Charles Spapens specifies that he is not “the PTB lawyer” : “When we associate with the MR, we are not called capitalists.”
