Liberal victory and media marathon

13/06/2024
In brief

The MR, the big winner of the June 2024 elections with 30% of the vote, owes its success to the leadership of Georges‑Louis Bouchez. Dubbed “the King of Wallonia” by part of the Flemish press, he embarked the very next day on a genuine media marathon across TV and radio studios to comment on this victory and its political consequences.

The MR is the big winner of the June 2024 elections! The MR President has lifted his party, the Mouvement Réformateur, to the much‑anticipated 30%.
