The PS reiterates, once again, its refusal to govern with the N-VA and to “become part of the most right-wing majority possible”

The veto of the PS, followed the expression of other vetoes, expressed on the right, from the start, by the MR and the Engagés, joined by the Open Vld, with regard to the PTB and the Ahidar Team, underlined Mr. Laaouej.

Federal training: negotiators received the reworked super-note

Recognizing that everyone’s reservations made the equation more complicated, Ahmed Laaouej recalled that the task of the trainers (editor’s note: David Leisterh and Elke Van den Brandt) consisted of “finding a solution which brings people together and does not result in a forced and unstable marriage.

The president of the Brussels PS deemed “legitimate”, for his party, the second regional political force, “not wanting to be part of the most right-wing majority possible, when Parliament is anchored to the left“, what is more by having to validate a modification of the law to allow the installation of a government commissioner and at the cost of an alliance with the NV-A, which will defend the interests of Flanders before those of the people of Brussels”. Without this high price to pay, the Flemish majority is only “paper”, he added in front of the assembly, which also included the Flemish socialist Ans Persoons.

“A cultural war”

“The MR of Georges-Louis Bouchez and his Jean Gol Center have decided to declare a cultural war on progress and progressives, and affirm their desire for domination. He found a dark-hearted ally in Bart De Wever and his NV-A. Nothing requires a Democrat to follow the injunctions of such a personality who flirts with the extreme right. The right to block with the N-VA will become a right to blackmail: anti-Brussels, anti-Francophones, anti-diversity, anti-liberties, anti-equality. This is what we do not want and this is why we do not want to give the NV-A the exorbitant power to mistreat Brussels and its inhabitants“, he said, pushing his analysis further.

For the president of the Brussels socialists, the N-VA does not like Belgium and even less Brussels as a region and as an institution.

Moreover, “I will spare you the reminder of the insults and remarks with racist overtones from Francken and others at the N-VA, so many things which will leave indelible traces on all those who are their victims“, he added.

In passing, Mr. Laaouej noted that Ecolo had reiterated his refusal to participate in a regional government and recalled what they thought of the NV-A: “a racist party with whom they consider it unthinkable to govern.” “There is therefore no majority in the Brussels Parliament for a government with the N-VA”he concluded.
