For Georges-Louis Bouchez, the MR remains by far the leading party in Wallonia: “No offense to a certain commentator”

Despite his defeat in Mons against Nicolas Martin, the president of the MR remains nonetheless happy with the overall results of his party.

Candidate mayor in Mons, Georges Louis Bouchez did not succeed in his challenge of overthrowing the PS. However, guest on the beautiful RTL Matin: “We have already achieved a score that no one else had ever achieved before, regarding a non-socialist list, since we have 30%, we have 14 seats and we have broken the absolute majority of the Socialist Party“, rejoices the Montois.

Will the MR therefore work with the PS in the commune? “When I look at the result in Mons, I see that at the level of democratic parties, there is no embarrassment of choice. The sense of responsibility should lead the two big blocs, MR and PS to work together to guarantee stability. I’m not making an appeal, I’m just noting the results. I’ve always said it’s not my favorite wedding ring at all, but I’m a responsible person“, notes Mr. Bouchez.

In Wallonia, the MR was the leading French-speaking party in terms of number of mayors. How much does the president now hope for? “The results come very late. Then there is the score and what does this score prove? May the MR reproduce its performance from June. That is to say, we are the first party in Wallonia“.

Georges-Louis Bouchez is also satisfied with a rise in liberal lists in historically socialist strongholds. “We are progressing by 10% in Charleroi, a considerable gain. We go to 10 elected officials. In Liège, there is also an increase of 2%. So, this means that in all historically socialist bastions, the MR confirms its position. On the overall score, the MR remains the leading political party in Wallonia“.

“The MR is first. The entrants are second“, continues Georges-Louis Bouchez. “This means that the azure wave is confirmed. The June results are confirmed, no offense to a certain commentator who is ultimately trying to find an excellent record for the PS because they kept the town halls in the old bastions. notes the Montois.
