In Brussels, the return “of a positive dynamic”, but not yet a miracle solution on the horizon to get out of the political crisis …

Brussels training: the MR expected Thursday with the “facilitator”

A positive dynamic – Brussels, return "of positive dynamic",

However, the meeting went well. In addition, “”The exchanges with the different parties were all very constructive. Meanwhile, A first note. However, synthesizing these priorities will be sent by the end of the weekend to the various interlocutors “Yvan Verougstraete commented this Thursday evening. In addition, “Basically, I have the feeling that we can find compromises between the parties“.

While Yvan Vergoustraete has now met all the Brussels parties (with the exception of the Vlaams Belang and the Fouad Ahidar team, which has declined the invitation), he will look at the drafting of a framework, in particular on the budgetary question, which will be transmitted by the end of the week to political parties. Meanwhile, He believes that an intermediate step will be necessary before going to the negotiation phase. Moreover, and pass brussels, return “of positive dynamic”, the hand to a trainer. Nevertheless, There will therefore be budgetary discussions next week.

A coalition? What coalition? – Brussels, return "of positive dynamic",

The holding of substantive discussions is not a bad thing. But the president of the commitments will still have to. if he really wishes to take a step, lead to the coalitions that would implement this program.

However, it was there, for 14 months, that the shoe was pinches. Because if the discussions have been constructive. and can help withdraw confidence between the parties, no miracle solution is taking shape on the horizon. The composition of the coalition which will form the next Brussels government does not always appear clearly in the eyes of Yvan Verougstraete. any more than those of the other negotiators. And David Leisterh. it is obvious, will not regain the hand as a trainer (which has been the announced objective of Yvan Verougstraete brussels, return “of positive dynamic”, since the start) without a coalition formula.

The Woluwesanpetrusian. and it is not nothing, can certainly boast of having obtained the support of Groen, Vooruit, and of the CD & V. While. on the French-speaking side, the MR-PS-Engades axis seems the most natural, it therefore lacks only one party to form a majority, Dutch-speaking side, and a Brussels government. For 14 months, however, it is the quest for this seventh party that is an insurmountable obstacle.

And the possibilities of the president of the committed, on this point, remain very limited.

The N-VA track was attempted several times. in all its forms by the MR, of which still recently in July, colliding each time at the veto of the PS. Unless an unprecedented formula is proposed, it will again be rejected by Ahmed Laaouej.

The track Open Vld seems the most logical. brussels, return “of positive dynamic”, since none of the partners has a veto against the Flemish Liberal Party.

“We had a good meeting with Yvan Verougstraete, during which we talked about content for 90 % of the time. It is a good thing to be able to do this. and we will continue to give a chance to each initiative“, Indicates Frédéric de Gucht who refuses to talk about coalitions at this stage. His position, however, is known. sans The N-VA.

The president of the committed can always try a kind of plan B : move forward in the negotiations at 6 parties (MR-PS-Engades-Groen-Vooruit-CD & V). without the Open VLD, nor the N-VA.

A new attempt to get Brussels out of the longest crisis in its history

Brussels. return "of positive dynamic",

A plan b?

Such a method would reverse logic: instead of waiting to know which parties form the brussels, return “of positive dynamic”, majority before negotiating. we would start by negotiating before, at the end of the race, to seek the seventh partner who would agree to support the government. This coupling would have an absolute majority in the Brussels parliament. but not on the Dutch -speaking side (or having a double majority is necessary to set up a full -service Brussels government).

Pressure. some consider some, would then be untenable for Open VLD (even if the Liberals reject this analysis) or any other part which would block the establishment of this government.

Others evoke the possibility of support. from the outside, of the three deputies of Team Fouad Ahidar, but the MR would probably refuse to register in this approach.

In summary. if the tension has dropped from several notches, the formation of a government by mid-September seems to be a very ambitious objective …
