A summit meeting in Halle yesterday. Beneath the tower of the imposing Saint Martin's Basilica, Georges-Louis Bouchez, MR President, and Sammy Mahdi, CD&V President, met for an interview with La Libre Belgique and Het Nieuwsblad.
The bar Vonk, specialising in breakfast and lunch, had reserved a lovely table for them with a view of the statue of the Virgin Mary.
A fascinating and lively conversation between two passionate politicians who want to reform and who are ready to keep working together.
Is it surprising that they agree on issues such as work, energy, security and immigration? No. “And besides, it's not because we had a family that we couldn't have friends,” Bouchez sums up.
