Federal training: both Open VLD and Vooruit want to talk to De Wever, each on their own terms

No further meetings have taken place between De Wever and De Bleeker since Wednesday. There has also been no substantial proposal in recent days.

On Friday, Eva De Bleeker indicated that the liberals wanted to cooperate. “If we can contribute in some way to finding a solution, we might consider it,” she said. She has the support of her party office in this regard.

Arizona, center-right or emergency government: what options does Bart De Wever have?

“If we can help ensure that Belgium does not lose a year and can have a budget, we will certainly listen,” Alexander De Croo also declared on Friday from a European summit in Budapest.

In the meantime, Vooruit does not seem ready to be sidelined. The leadership of the Socialist Party feels strengthened by a poll published by Het Laatste Nieuws, according to which 57.7% of Flemish respondents believe that Vooruit must continue to negotiate the formation of a federal government. “Many respondents say Vooruit should be in government and that’s what we think too,” Vooruit leader Melissa Depraetere said on Sunday television.

Bart De Wever therefore seems to have two possibilities to present to King Philippe. In the trainer’s circles, no clarification is made this Sunday.
