While trainer Bart De Wever is expected at the King at 11:30 a.m. to report on his consultations, criticism of government training continues to rain down. Last Thursday, it was Maxime Prévot (Les Engagés), who expressed his doubts about the inclusion of Open-VLD.
On the opposition side, the former president of Défi and current MP François De Smet denounced this Tuesday morning “the dilettantism and amateurism” of the negotiators for the formation of a federal government.

They would be “not up to the challenges” by prolonging their talks. “It’s ‘The Young and the Restless.’ I can no longer read articles where Georges-Louis explains that he feels betrayed by Conner, where Conner explains that he no longer has Bart’s trust, where Sammy Mahdi finds that 76 is not not enough. There is an image of dilettantism and amateurism which shows us that the negotiators are not up to the challenges,” commented François De Smet, on Bel-RTL.
In his eyes, the economic emergency, the fear of a trade war with the United States, the question of the defense of Europe, energy poverty, “the drug trafficking which is invading us”, etc., quickly demand a full government.
Exit Vooruit, hello Open VLD? Don’t talk about a “repeated Swedish government”, but about a “Blue Lagoon” government.
However, the former president of DéFI does not have confidence in the president of the N-VA, Bart De Wever, to protect the interests of French-speakers and federal Belgium, which the Flemish nationalist is preparing to “dismantle the interior” if he became Prime Minister.
The amaranth party will also oppose any possible use of special powers, which would constitute “a confiscation of parliamentary power”.
More information on the formation of the federal government is expected to follow later today.
