No government in Brussels, the non-marchand sector dismissals for lack of sufficient subsidies

One year without Brussels government, this leaves traces of non -merchant associations. Fears, we have passed, in certain teams, to the non-reinforcement of fixed-term contracts, to economic unemployment, to the compulsory reduction in working time or even to pure and simple dismissal. The other victim of this political paralysis in the capital are those who benefit from these services and many of you.

These companies are all the services that support us throughout our lives.

These companies are all the services that support us throughout our lives. It starts at birth with the hospital, then the crèches, then the schools. These are the services of culture, sport, scouting, etc. It finally goes so far to seniors with palliative care, rest homes or home assistance and care. We can say that with the absence of a government, all these sectors are affected “Land on Kelly Timperman, political advisor at Brusseo, who represents the non-market sector in Brussels.

At the end, many associations have exhausted all the solutions that could have made it possible to maintain the activity afloat. “” To survive, they try to make bridge credits, loans between non -profit organization or solidarity loans. Until one or two months ago, the situation was still tenable but there, we really arrive at deplorable situations “Adds the Bruxeo advisor.

Concretely, for months, associations have received subsidies according to the mechanism of provisional twelfths applied when the government is in everyday business. “”The subsidies are delivered by slice every 3 or 4 months. They are based, not on a budget of 2025, but on that of 2024. This does not follow indexing. Worse, we are already on the third tranche and some associations have not yet received anything. It is impossible to establish perspectives under these conditions“Concludes Kelly Timperman.

What does not help is that on this observation, the so -called optional regional subsidies were also planed by 15%. Problem: over the years, these optional aid has become structural for certain associations. To do without it without making sacrifices is, so to speak, has become impossible.
