Jean-Pascal Labille (Solidaris): “The PS is too nice!”,

THEn must put red lines. If that’s it, it’s with us, if it’s not that, it’s without us. »Us? The left according to Jean-Pascal Labille, secretary general of Solidaris, powerful member of the Joint Action alongside the PS and the FGTB of Thierry Bodson. The guest of the Grand Oral RTBF / Le Soir (this Saturday on La Première and on the Le Soir site from 9.10 a.m. and on the Three this Sunday at 11.15 p.m.) takes a stand on the management of the health crisis but also, and above all, on the political issues that are tearing the country apart.

“The last government, made on the basis of what Belgium was, is that of 2011 with parties ready to compromise and with a sense of state. Today, to say that the N-VA has this sense of state would be daring. Then, ideologically, we have increasingly different visions of society ”. And it does not only concern the N-VA: “A social agreement will not be easier to find with the VLD of Egbert Lachaert and the MR of Georges-Louis Bouchez. The left, to which I belong, will have every interest in implementing a logic with red lines on the social, fiscal, environmental, economic and democratic levels. The left is not there to go into politics on the right, in a government of the right. If there is no compromise, too bad. “Leaving the interview, Jean-Pascal Labille lets go:” The PS is much too nice, and that you can write it. We are not going to ask him to save Belgium and kill himself at the same time. “

Paul Magnette, on probation? ” No ! “Says Labille. “He does a complicated job. What the PS would do well is to draw these famous red lines, impassable. Otherwise we will not govern! We have to show much more radicality. I therefore call for the establishment of a social, environmental, economic and democratic front. What will change politics is a powerful social movement that will push to change course, with people at the center. ”
