Promises kept: more freedom, more purchasing power, more results with the MR

21/08/2025
In brief

The MR highlights concrete results: administrative procedures that are far simpler and digitalised, stronger support for the self-employed, and a reform of social assistance turning it into a springboard to employment. It raises the tax-free portion of income and limits the duration of unemployment benefits so that work always pays more than inactivity.

At the MR, we are convinced of one thing: political action must translate into concrete results in everyone's life. Less paperwork, less red tape, and more efficiency. Every measure we champion has a clear goal: simplifying daily life, strengthening the freedom to work and improving purchasing power. Because politics only makes sense when it makes citizens' lives fairer, simpler and more dynamic.

The MR is working for greater efficiency and clarity, so that every citizen and every self-employed person concretely benefits from political action. No more endless paperwork: full digitalisation of administrative follow-up is becoming a reality, particularly in the healthcare sector. From now on, all procedures are carried out online, reimbursements are sped up, and administration focuses on what really matters.

This “simplification shock” affects all public services, guaranteeing everyone a transparent and swift administrative process. Your documents, your requests, your rights: everything will be accessible in just a few clicks, without unnecessary forms or endless delays. A genuine revolution, driven by our values of efficiency and service to citizens.

The MR's impact is also felt in the economy, among those who create jobs: our self-employed workers. As essential drivers of Belgian prosperity, they are finally being recognised at their true worth thanks to targeted tax measures and the removal of numerous constraints. Minor taxes abolished, supplementary pensions harmonised, digitalised procedures via My Enterprise, and administrative obligations radically simplified: all levers to unleash initiative and encourage entrepreneurship. Whether full-time or as a side activity, freedom to work and reduced charges are finally becoming a tangible reality.

But fighting poverty also means putting work back at the centre. Thanks to the social assistance reform driven by the MR, assistance becomes a genuine springboard. Every CPAS beneficiary now receives personalised support (PIIS), together with clear follow-up to activate a return to employment. CPAS centres are encouraged to provide support but also to foster responsibility, giving everyone the means to regain an active place in society. The goal is no longer to sustain precariousness, but to rebuild autonomy: a fairer, more humane and more effective system.

On tax matters, the MR is delivering on its commitments. The tax-free allowance, the untaxed portion of income, will be progressively raised to €15,300 by 2029. In practice, no tax will be paid until the minimum living income (the RIS) is reached. A major step forward for purchasing power, benefiting all workers and ensuring that work always pays more than staying inactive.

Similarly, the MR is putting an end to unlimited unemployment benefits. The principle is clear: each year worked opens the right to a year of benefits, extended by one month for every four months worked, up to a limit of two years after five years of employment. This reform genuinely protects those who need it, while encouraging everyone to swiftly regain professional momentum.

Families, the self-employed, workers: everywhere, the MR is turning its commitments into concrete action, for a society that is more efficient, fairer and firmly geared towards the future.
