Paul Magnette was the guest of RTL info Signatures this Wednesday evening.
The University of Mons would like to organize a master’s degree for medical studies. But according to the Minister of Higher Education MR, Valérie Glatigny, there are already 3 complete masters in medicine in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in Liège, Woluwé and Brussels and that would be enough. The more populated Flanders has only 4. Should we also go towards 4 also with Mons in addition? Paul Magnette is for it.
“In Wallonia, there is only one, because the other two are in Brussels and in Wallonia, there is a lack of doctors“, notes the president of the PS. “But for reasons that no one understands, the president of the MR, Georges-Louis Bouchez, decided to block this, all alone. It’s not okay!“
“The MR must come to his senses”
Convinced, Paul Magnette even says he wants to go all the way, without the MR. “If necessary, we will vote with an alternative majority in the Parliament of the French community, because we cannot prevent Hainaut from developing.“.
A sentence that immediately made Christophe Deborsu react on the set. “If you are that with the Engagés, that means the government is jumping then!“. “We will see at that time”, explains the president of the PS. “But I hope that the MR will come to their senses and understand that we do not block alone a file where everyone agrees“.
Faced with the insistence of Christophe Deborsu on the question of whether the government could jump, Paul Magnette reacts: “I am convinced that this region needs investment. I do not accept that a partner, alone, decides to block everything. It’s not acceptable“.
