To help them cope, Wallonia is acting, and it is acting successfully“, he added, returning once again to the Walloon Recovery Plan, “the most ambitious in the history of the Region“. This plan, endowed with more than 7 billion euros, “will allow us to become a model Region in terms of innovation, social progress and environmental transition“, continued the Minister-President. “Our Region, we do not know enough and we do not say it enough, is increasingly innovative, the percentage of innovative Walloon companies now being higher than the European Union average.“, welcomed Elio Di Rupo again.

Freedom, solidarity, economic development, social progress and environmental protection are the stars of the Shepherd of our government. They guide our steps, they direct our actions and they shed light on our initiatives“, he continued. For the first Walloon – who also did not fail to mention Europe while Belgium will hold the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union from January 1 – “the page of difficulties is slowly closing, and new perspectives are opening before us. Happier, more encouraging and more stimulating outlook“. “I invite you to make your contribution, where you are able to act. I encourage you to participate in this great movement which is taking Wallonia forward today.“, he concluded.
