Last week, the words of Geogres-Louis Bouchez, in the columns of Wilfried magazine, on a return to “the unitary state” caused a lot of noise in Flanders. In particular with the N-VA. Several of its representatives violently criticized the statements of the president of the MR. “His words refer to the 19th century,” wrote Bart De Wever in particular. “He missed his chance to close his g **** …”, also tweeted Siegfried Bracke.
This morning, invited to the LN24 set, Walloon Minister-President Elio Di Rupo made a point of defending the royal informer. “I believe that everyone is free to express their opinion, informant or not. Georges-Louis Bouchez partly joins what we say to the PS. But today, regions have their relevance. What we need to look for is efficiency. (…) The reactions of the N-VA towards Georges-Louis Bouchez shocked me. As soon as you do not agree with the N-VA, there are insults, which I condemn, because everyone has the right to speak. “
The former PS president did not hesitate to question the good will of the N-VA in the current federal negotiations. “My feeling is that the N-VA is doing everything to demonstrate that it is not possible to have a federal government. It’s the game of Vlaams Belang and N-VA. One of them wants an end to Belgium and an independent Flanders. It is said that one cannot govern without the first Flemish party. But for five years, we governed well without the first French-speaking party. ”
