In Brussels, the N-VA requires being at the Table of Brussels negotiations, and the MR initiative right in the wall

But this Monday, the enthusiasm was strongly tempered following the sherpagate. Consequently, Several Dutch-speaking negotiators had called for the presence of an N-VA collaborator at the negotiating table. Consequently, The PS had clearly refused this request. In addition, The presence of a Sherpa from the N-VA, even in the corridor, would end the negotiation … However, The MR had finally canceled the plenary meeting to avoid the clash.

This Tuesday, the hopes of the MR were squarely sprayed by a bucket of cold water.

A meeting with the N-VA

The Brussels File Cheffe of the N-VA Cieltje Van Achter. Meanwhile, its president Valérie Van Peel met the MR during a bilateral meeting this Tuesday brussels, n-va requires being table morning. Therefore, They clearly made known their requirement to designate themselves a secretary of state N-VA. Meanwhile, to obtain the presence of a sherpa at the negotiating table. Furthermore, “”For us, it was clear from the start that a Sherpa would follow the negotiations. Therefore, How can we let a minister conduct a policy if we have not followed the negotiations. Moreover, if we could not weigh on the content? Furthermore, “. said Cieltje van Achter after saying on Monday evening that the secretary of state appointed by the MR should be “someone with whom we fully agree and that we designate. “The n-VA leader even assured having received written insurance (which it did not produce at this stage) from Georges-Louis. Bouchez in this sense.

“What was proposed as a solution is not quite that“. For his part declared the general delegate of Mr Rachel Sobry, on Bel-RTL.”We brussels, n-va requires being table are talking about the MR quota. so it is the MR which designates […] A person who is not inserted and who is politically compatible with the N-VA. “

Did the MR had a double speech according to whether it spoke with the N-VA or with the PS? Is it a misinterpretation, or a reversal of the N-VA?

The elements are lacking to answer this question, at this stage, and the essential is elsewhere.

Because at the PS. the conditions laid down by the N-VA, which reaffirmed its position, were analyzed as de facto signing the failure of the MR initiative. The socialists, in fact, have little intention of letting go from the ballast to the N-VA.

On the MR side. Additionally, the tone was less defeatist, even if the negotiators had little miracle solution to get out of the dead end. brussels, n-va requires being table This Tuesday evening was no longer a question of fixing a date for a plenary meeting.

In this case, wrongs are shared.

The position of the N-VA seems to have stiff in recent hours. The consequences of an internal movement? “”Cieltje van Achter must be able to defend his agreement with his party“, Slides a Dutch -speaking source.”Internally, the movement is badly experienced by some who consider that the N-VA gives in front of the PS.“

“But the N-VA must also understand that it has lost the elections. that it has only two seats, and that almost that no French-speaking party wants to work with it in Brussels. The formula offered by the MR is progress for them”, Add a liberal source.

Barely started, Brussels negotiations are already stalling: “We do not know if the N-VA is inside or outside …”

Brussels. n-va requires being table

“Mouth should have concreted his solution”

Georges-Louis Bouchez can boast of having found a solution that no one had thought to unlock the situation, and to have agreed to sacrifice one of the two ministerial portfolios of his party. “”But he would have done better to take the time to concrete it with all the partners before going to trumber that he was going to unlock Brussels last Friday. during the Flemish community party“, Slides a Dutch -speaking source.

The PS, meanwhile, once again shows its intransigence towards the N-VA.

The PS blocks the Dutch -speaking majority

In doing so. and for the first time, the socialists intervene directly on the composition of a Dutch -speaking majority which, historically, has always formed without French -speaking intervention. In recent months. the PS had indeed always been able to justify its refusal by a brussels, n-va requires being table technical point: the four Dutch -speaking parties, to obtain each a post, needed the support of the PS in the Brussels Parliament in order to create a post of Commissioner for the Government. But this reasoning no longer holds. No position will be created. since the three Dutch-speaking portfolios will go to Groen, Vooruit and the Open VLD, and the N-VA will receive its own.

“The initiative of Georges-Louis Bouchez may not yet be in the morguesummarized a Dutch -speaking source. But the patient is in intensive care, awaiting miracle treatment “.
