"Everything is going very well in this government, and I think it's more of a press problem. Because the press is actually writing editorials about something I didn't say." As a guest of Maxime Binet, Georges-Louis Bouchez addressed this media controversy over the capital gains tax.
The MR President insists: "This is not a secret document, but a working document known to all partners of the Arizona government." He recalls that the discussions will continue and that the precise details will be revealed in the coming months during committee debates.
Regarding the Brussels negotiations, the MR remains firm: progress, yes, but not by letting the PS impose its conditions: a party that seems to have forgotten it is no longer the leading party in Brussels and must understand that the CD&V will not join a regional executive without the N-VA.
Georges-Louis Bouchez also raised the poor financial state of companies such as Bpost and Proximus, suggesting the entry of a specialised majority shareholder to turn them around.
