A strike in the Walloon public sectors is planned for this Wednesday. Here’s a look at the disruptions to come.
This Wednesday, in Wallonia, many public services will be on strike, thus disrupting the usual functioning of administrations. This movement was launched by several unions to show their dissatisfaction with the new government’s 2025 budget, the adoption of which is scheduled for the same day.
The main gathering will be held in Namur, near the Walloon Parliament. Scheduled for 11:30 a.m., the demonstration will allow unions to express their concerns regarding the possible effects of this budget on services to citizens. According to them, certain measures in the new budget could impoverish these services.
Many disruptions to expect
The disruptions will particularly affect the TEC public transport network. Many lines will be disrupted during the day. Users are invited to consult the Transport Company website or application for timetables and the most recent information.
Various public interest organizations such as Forem, IFAPM and AVIC will not be spared either, with office closures or slow operation. Municipal administrations, CPAS and nurseries are also concerned. “We advise you to check before traveling to these places“, warn the authorities.
Although the education system is less affected overall, schools indicate they will remain open. In addition, police and emergency areas have also received strike notices, which could lead to disruption.
This day of strike highlights the growing uneasiness of the public sector in the face of economic policies perceived as increasingly restrictive. “We plan to stay as long as possible“, warns Olivier Blaise, delegate present on site, determined to make himself heard by the government.
