On Saturday, the presidents of the five parties expected to form the future Arizona coalition also discussed these institutional questions.
“Sander Loones (Flemish N-VA MP, editor’s note) wrote a note on this subject which was discussed yesterday. There is still work to be done. We will see,” commented Mr. Francken.
The tone rises between Ridouane Chahid and Theo Francken in the Chamber: “He doesn’t like part of Brussels, that’s the reality”
Discussions on the theme of communities
This Sunday afternoon, the five party presidents must resume their discussions on the trainer’s updated socio-economic note this time.
In this area too, differentiations are possible between entities, argued MP Francken. Asymmetrical policies are necessary, according to him.
-“It is on the table, in addition to a series of concrete points. We do not have the 100 seats necessary to carry out a major reform of the State, to achieve confederalism, but we are going to take a series of steps in the right direction,” he assured.
Mr. Francken refused to confirm that Bart De Wever had announced community progress last weekend due to tensions within the party, with some members judging that the N-VA was not doing enough in this area.
“We are a conservative Flemish nationalist party. Many members consider the community important,” he limited himself to observing.
