The president of the commitments will start by organizing bilateral meetings with the Brussels parties who agree to see him. An invitation was sent to all democratic parties. The entourage of Yvan Verougstraete did not specify which ones replied favorably. “”But there are many“, He said. We can think that the two most important parties in the region, the MR and the PS, will go to the appointment even if they have not been associated with the process.
A majority agreement on September 15?
Bilateral meetings will start this Monday and are expected to end on Wednesday. The Verougstraete facilitator intends to draw two types of lessons. First, he wants to measure the gestures that each Brussels party is ready to pose to get out of the crisis. “”It is indeed only if everyone makes an effort that we can get there“, Recommend the committed.
The MR strategy, which monopolizes the initiative, disconcerts the other parties: “Bouchez really wants to lead to forming a Brussels government?”
Second, the facilitator wants to ensure that the position of each political training on the situation in the region has not changed. “”An update of positions is necessary.“
At the end of these meetings, Yvan Verougstraete should present “a basic note for negotiation” in which we should find “the major objectives on which we should agree to give a new ambition for the region” et “balance points on sensitive files“.
Will it be good this time? The president of the committed seems quite sure of him. In any case, it gives a horizon: September 15, date of the start of the parliamentary school. After 14 months of blocking, we cannot blame the Brussels residents for clinging to the slightest hope. Nor to fear a new failure.
