Brussels Minister-President Boris Dilliès was a guest on the programme Jeudi en Prime. It was an opportunity to present his vision for Brussels and the government's priorities for the next three years.
What are the key takeaways from his appearance?
A simpler, more efficient and less costly administration
“You have more than 23 different bodies in Brussels, with a lot of duplication. We are going to bring that together into three pillars,” promised Boris Dilliès.
A change of approach on mobility
No more policy of fait accompli! The new approach will be more balanced and, above all, more consultative, particularly with residents and shopkeepers.
Better-coordinated security and concrete measures
“Today, we have to acknowledge that many forces are not working in a sufficiently coordinated way,” said the Brussels Minister-President, pointing to concrete measures: a €10 million station plan and the creation of an anti-drug police unit.
Giving Brussels back the image it deserves
Boris Dilliès has pledged to have the concrete blocks gradually removed. “In 2030, we will celebrate our country's bicentenary. We need an image worthy of the capital and of Europe.”
