CD&V chairman Coens still cherishes hope for the formation of reg …

CD&V chairman Joachim Coens has not yet given up hope for a federal government around the axis of N-VA and PS. “They said give us fifty days and they will be stranded after 25 days. I think that an even better effort must be made to be able to form a majority ”, Coens said on Monday evening in the VRT program To the point.

As leaders of the largest Flemish and French-speaking parties, Bart De Wever (N-VA) and Paul Magnette (PS) have been trying to create a new government in recent weeks. CD&V, cdH and sp.a were willing to enter into the discussion, but the preformers failed to get a sixth party on board to obtain a majority.

On Monday, De Wever and Magnette offered their resignation as commissioners to the king. He reserves the answer. Coens still has hope that a restart can still be made. “If the largest parties together ask to take action, it seems to me that they should continue and try to reach that good coalition agreement,” he responded Monday evening.

It is suggested here and there that the attempt failed on the forcing of the PS to push the MR out of the boat. “When you are six, everyone is needed, which gives some a better feeling”, Coens replied. “It is the two preformers who at some point make a choice to pursue a certain composition.”

What about a purple-green slope? “I don’t think that’s the solution now. I think we still have a lot of opportunities to talk ”, says Coens. According to Coens, his party does not allow exclusives to green or liberal parties, but “it remains important, on the basis of what can be found by two parties as a consensus, to allow other parties to participate in the discussion and to get a majority”.
