Lhe royal trainer Bart De Wever will be received Monday at 12:30 p.m. by the King to give a new report on his mission to form a new federal government. On November 12, Philippe decided to grant Bart De Wever two weeks “to break the deadlock”, in the words used by the Palace.
Three days later, a solution was found. Vooruit, who had slammed the door, said he was ready to resume negotiations. The Flemish socialists welcomed the new note presented by the trainer, including, according to them, “finally openings, including for a greater contribution from the largest assets.”
Since then, negotiators have been working six days a week. A “very intensive” agenda has already been drawn up for next week. There is therefore no doubt that the trainer will be extended in his mission.
Among the hot topics on the road to Arizona, there is the validation of the Inami health care budget (Alexander De Croo transmitted the file to Bart De Wever, watch out for dissensions). Still stranded, we are far from the goal. And there is also, more generally, the preparation of the 2025 State budget, expected by the European Commission. Time is of the essence in both cases.
