So far, only Team Fouad Ahidar (TFA) has refused the invitation. “Yvan Verougstraete takes note and regrets it because the objective was to meet all the democratic parties which each have a responsibility” to get out of the dead end, it was specified on the side of the facilitator.
Faced with a Brussels situation in clinical death, the committed take up the negotiation stick and impose a deadline: September 15
To justify its refusal, the Fouad Ahidar team is advancing “the lack of neutrality” of the president of the committed. “In recent statements, he said he would not govern with us,” she said.
“How can we hope to build a common project when the facilitator himself begins by excluding certain actors? This mission is doomed to failure. We refuse to waste our time and that of the Brussels residents in biased discussions where the cards are already faked,” said TFA in a press release.
“But it is important to be clear: if TFA is recognized as a legitimate political partner for the formation of a government, we are ready for dialogue,” she added.
