For Joachim Coens, a coalition with the PS and the N-VA remains the first choice.

Lhe attitude of CD&V president Joachim Coens in the coming days will be crucial for the federal formation. Royal Chargé de Mission Egbert Lachaert is expected at the Palace on Friday, and is expected to give a clear direction for the formation of the next government.
He was working on a rainbow coalition (liberals, socialists and ecologists). The question now is whether the CD&V will complete the cast to form a Vivaldi coalition, which would have a more stable majority in Parliament. “Much will depend on the project that Egbert Lachaert and the other parties present to us”, comments Joachim Coens on Sunday in Het Nieuwsblad. “If it is a rainbow ethical agenda with Belgian sauce that brings them together, it will be without us,” he warns.

The president of the CD&V Joachim Coens will make an update on Monday on the state of progress of the negotiations for the federal formation to the deputies of the party. He explained to the Nieuwsblad that the CD&V has a comprehensive program for the recovery of our economy, with particular attention to strengthening purchasing power, fair taxation, investments in healthcare and a transition to a sustainable economy.
“The government needs to be more efficiently organized, the budget path needs to be sustainable, and we need to worry about the most precarious. This is what we want to achieve, this is what it is. “
It remains to be seen whether the other parties share this vision and in the positive, what they are ready to put in place to get there. “The starting point differs from the Burgundian coalition (PS, N-VA, liberals)”, continues Joachim Coens. “A coalition with the PS and the N-VA remains our first choice, the scenario has won our confidence. If another proposal is on the table, it will be necessary to seek to establish this same confidence initially, before going further. “
If it is a rainbow ethical agenda with Belgian sauce that emerges, the CD&V will lead the opposition “with great pleasure”, announces Joachim Coens. “But if it is a centrist coalition that is proposed, with a strong response to socio-economic questions, then we will listen,” he says.
