“The Precipice: Belgium’s Economic Crisis and the N-VA’s Solutions”

2023-05-14 12:43:59

All lights are red. We are really on the edge of the precipice“, this is how Bart De Wever, the president of the N-VA summarizes the economic situation of Belgium. This would be close to “the Greek situation“.

According to Bart De Wever, the De Croo government “didn’t do much” apart “dig a bottomless pit, encouraged by French-speaking left parties“. Public debt, tax pressure, deficit, lack of pension reform are all bad points that the N-VA awards to the Vivaldi coalition.

And to regret the Swedish coalition in which the N-VA participated with Prime Minister Charles Michel. “The Swede has done things, not enough, but this government [la Vivaldi, ndlr] crossed out everything the Swede did“, says Bart De Wever.

For the N-VA, the De Croo government let slip Belgium’s debt. “If we compare with the (European) countries which have the highest debts, they are all in the process of lowering their debt, except Belgium. De Croo government adds more debt while the numbers are dire“, argues for his part Sander Loones, federal deputy N-VA.

The next government will have to get to work. It’s necessary “very strong measures, very strong reforms“, insists Bart De Wever. And that’s good, the Flemish nationalist party is closing a weekend of discussions and overhaul of its socio-economic project in view of the electoral campaign for the 2024 elections.
