The Flemish figurehead of Groen talks in The Sundayabout Vivaldi and the ‘historic opportunity’ for his party, but also about how the corona crisis has exposed the problems in healthcare. ‘If I had been Wouter Beke, I would have resigned.’
‘The coronavirus has exposed and amplified structural errors. Because please note: this problem is not new. We have known for some time that our healthcare sector does not have sufficient resources. Waiting lists in care for the disabled have been a problem for years. Corona has uncovered that once again, ‘says Groen figurehead Björn Rzoska. Rzoska is chairman of the corona committee and hears many testimonials about the situation earlier this year. Is Wouter Beke still in his chair as responsible minister? ‘Above all, he has to look in the mirror himself. Had I been in his place, I would have resigned. He is politically responsible for what goes wrong. Besides, I have not seen any leadership from him. Anyway, we cannot demand his resignation. It is his party that decides on this. ‘
Rzoska is clear about Vivaldi: ‘This cannot stop. Now nobody can leave the table. Now we have to continue. The Vivaldi train has left, I think. And that is also necessary. Policy must be implemented to be able to cope with the corona crisis. ‘ But whether people are also enthusiastic about it? ‘I am enthusiastic. My party is enthusiastic. Moreover, we are not afraid of the voter. ‘
