“If the communists take part in the exercise of power, then my bags are ready”. “If the Vlaams Belang cleans up / cleans up its shit (“zijn shit opkuist” in Dutch, editor’s note), why not? “Says Mr. De Wever when asked about governance with the Flemish far-right party. “But as long as the party tolerates extremists who insult and attack below the belt, it puts itself out of play. The day when the VB establishes a credible trajectory so that this stops, then it can govern as far as I am concerned, ”explains the mayor of Antwerp.
According to De Wever, VB chairman Tom Van Grieken is in a position to do so, but is not acting. “That he continues to get along with Dries Van Langenhove, I really don’t understand him. This man constantly pours anti-Semitism, hatred towards women and professes his love for Vladimir Putin (the Russian president, editor’s note). Why continue to defend it? And he’s not the only extremist, huh! One cannot govern with such individuals. This is why I consider that a voice for Vlaams Belang is a lost voice,” Mr. De Wever further states. “If the voters want this Vlaams Belang in power, ok, but it will be without me.”
The president of the N-VA is also not kind to his coalition partners in the Flemish government, Open VLD and CD&V. “They boarded the Vivaldi federal coalition, without a majority in Flanders. Take the Open VLD: how can you promise things at your congress while doing the opposite in practice? “. Continuing to the address of the CD&V: “Is there a single Flemish Christian Democrat who can give me a good reason why they joined the Vivaldi? », Launches the president of the N-VA again.
Earlier this month, Mr. De Wever assured that after the 2024 elections, he wanted to quickly set up a mini cabinet with the PS, a proposal that the French-speaking socialists rejected. But the Flemish nationalist still believes that the N-VA can carry out its project of confederalism with the PS. “They will not like it, but they will be forced to do so by the impossibility of forming a government.”
