Historic election victory: The Mouvement Réformateur is the leading party in Wallonia, Brussels and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation

09/08/2024
In brief

On 9 June 2024, the MR became the leading party in Wallonia, Brussels and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Two governments were quickly formed to reward work, boost employment, ensure budgetary rigour and support education. Georges-Louis Bouchez calls for this consistency to continue in the local elections, by supporting change at every level.

Exactly two months ago, the Mouvement Réformateur achieved an unprecedented electoral breakthrough, becoming the leading political party in Wallonia, Brussels and the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. This electoral success marked a decisive turning point in the political history of these regions, propelling the MR to the centre of decision-making power.

Since this resounding victory, the MR, under the leadership of Georges-Louis Bouchez, has managed, in record time, to form two governments determined to implement deep and necessary reforms. These governments, true to the vision of change championed by the MR, are committed to better rewarding work, boosting employment, managing public finances rigorously and guaranteeing quality education for all.

In Brussels, the government has already begun a significant transformation of the capital region. The stated priorities are clear: improved mobility, increased employment and enhanced safety. These strategic focuses reflect the MR's commitment to meeting citizens' expectations and making Brussels more dynamic and safer.

At federal level, the MR has set itself ambitious goals. “We will do everything our country must do and has failed to do in recent years,” declared Georges-Louis Bouchez, reaffirming the MR's determination to make up for the shortcomings of previous governments. This mandate, granted by voters on 9 June, requires every party member to show courage in carrying out the essential reforms.

As local elections approach, Georges-Louis Bouchez is calling on citizens to remain consistent by supporting the forces of change at local level. “Towns and municipalities play an essential role at the level of our regions, in Wallonia and Brussels. Allow the forces of change to fully deploy there to establish comprehensive and structural reforms,” he urged.

Georges-Louis Bouchez, true to his reputation as a committed leader, assured that he will continue to fully assume his responsibilities. “I will be more than ever at the heart of the change our fellow citizens need, whether at local, regional, national or European level,” he pledged, demonstrating his unwavering dedication to the reformist project.

With this new chapter, the MR reaffirms its position as a major political force and is preparing to deliver the reforms citizens expect, while keeping in mind the common interest and the future of the country.
