The tax shift would be estimated at 5 to 6 billion euros, accompanied by a tax cut of one billion.

This Monday, the discussions focused on different thematic notes (security, health, climate, etc.), and this Tuesday afternoon, the institutional aspect is on the program. Sunday evening, Georges-Louis Bouchez left the negotiations to participate in Facing Buxant on RTL, irritating certain partners. However, this Monday morning, Bart De Wever, taking the oath as mayor of Antwerp before Governor Cathy Berx, affirmed that this departure had no impact on the discussions. He even added a personal comment on his municipal mandate: “At the federal level, the stable remains to be cleaned; in Antwerp, we did our homework.” Will federal duties finally be started by an Arizona executive? Response at the beginning of February.
