More than 3 months after the European, federal and regional elections, Georges-Louis Bouchez, the big winner of these polls, looked back on the period gone by, on the governments that have been set up and on the new momentum sweeping across our territory.
Interviewed by www.7sur7.be and by www.grenzecho.net the MR President looked back on the key events following the election. On 13 October, Belgians will once again be called to vote in the municipal and provincial elections. At the same time, Georges-Louis Bouchez, alongside the 4 other partners of the future “Arizona” coalition, continues to make progress in negotiations for the upcoming federal government. For Georges-Louis Bouchez, the goal of this government-to-be, and of the governments already formed in Wallonia and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, will be to carry out the necessary and essential reforms never before achieved because of a conservative, complacent and vote‑seeking left.
For GLB, the State manages too much, all the time. Yes, there is a significant budgetary problem today, but above all there is a cultural problem. We must fight against a great deal of conservatism; the trade unions, the mutual insurers, certain spending patterns and specific ways of operating.
