According to Bart De Wever, the day was constructive, but there are also more difficult days. “There are still hundreds of hidden mines which I know are difficult for a number of parties, and I understand that too,” the N-VA president explained to VRT. On the VTM, he added that the negotiations are almost at the top of a mountain with discussions on “labor market reform, pensions, taxation, it is not an easy task, everyone knows that “.
The trainer is expected on January 7 before the King, to request a further extension of his mission. “This deadline (of the end of January) was set because we know that everything that should be included in the government agreement has already been put down on paper. It is now a question of choosing how to organize this and how put it in place,” he said. “It’s now a question of will or not.”
What if there is no government by the end of January? Bart De Wever does not want to anticipate. “We are six months after the elections and the note has been rewritten 40 times. There is an end to everything, it’s a buffet that you have to eat right now or you have to leave the room,” he confided . As for the chances of obtaining an agreement at the end of January, the trainer does not want to comment further. “It’s 50-50. And if it succeeds, there is rather a 100% chance that I will become Prime Minister,” he concluded.
