Sofie in ‘t Veld, MEP for 20 years, is the guest on 7:50 a.m. on bel RTL Matin. Questioned by Martin Buxant on the case of French-speaking Belgian liberals who are “moving strongly to the right”, the centrist gave her opinion.
“We see the Open VLD which is in great difficulty”, begins by responding the Dutch woman, speaking of the Flemish liberals. “I don’t really understand why, but not a day goes by without a crisis, without a prominent member of the party attacking another..”
As for the French-speaking liberals, it’s not much better, if you listen to the member. “The MR seems to be moving more towards the right and there is the style of Georges-Louis Bouchez which is a little populist.”
The game played by the Montois of regularly and openly criticizing government policy, while his party is a member, does not please Sofie in ‘t Veld at all. “On the one hand, I think it’s good to speak out and make things happen, but when you’re in government, you can’t be in opposition all the time. It does not work. Especially when there are successive crises, we must cooperate and be constructive.”
