The leader of the Democratic Center Party declares that the current pension system must be reformed. “I think it can be something useful and intelligent because we have to reform the system to guarantee the payment of pensions and the sustainability of the system, Europe also encourages us to do so”he says.

Maxime Prévot maintains that this is an essential reform for the country and that we have a lot to gain from it. “Minister Van Peteghem, a few days ago, recognized that this might cause Belgium to lose 300 million euros in aid. Today, we are so embarrassed because we still have no structural reform of pensions, that we do not even ask for the funding that we promise from the European Union. It is 850 million euros that have not been requested and for which we continue to borrow instead of receiving the European subsidy”he concludes.
