What about the workforce? “That’s why we need this alliance. The construction sector needs to see clearly over the next few years. There is a lot of work for a lot of people, including young women. Import labor? There are already a lot of foreign workers on the construction sites but we have to convince ourselves that these are very useful jobs and cannot be relocated with new technologies.”.

Before tackling another file: the opening and inauguration of an aerobus to serve Charleroi airport. “There is already a bus line from Charleroi station, but there will be two additional lines to Luttre and Fleurus stations to allow better access by public transport to the airport”. And to talk about aviation in general. “We will have to reduce the quantity of goods transported by plane. We must also limit our air travel and favor the train. A quota of air flights per person? It’s complex, the debate is not ripe for such radical proposals. What is clear is that we must reduce our consumption of air travel. If we make sure that taking the train is cheaper than flying and there is a sufficient supply, we will already reduce the number of people who take the plane”.
The Liégeois then returned to a subject that has occupied his city for many months: the tram. “It’s a difficult project, but it has been evolving for a few months. We see the work being done, but it’s true that it’s long and impactful for the city. What matters is that we finish the impacting works for the city center as quickly as possible”.
Finally, can Ecolo consider a coalition with PTB, while the elections take place in a year? “What is essential is to have an environmentally and socially engaging program. So far, the PTB has not provided any solution. They hold a discourse of extreme criticism on everything. The question does not arise so far”.
