“I am delighted that there is an Iris Festival with a government in place. It is a sign that the Brussels crisis is over and that we are hard at work for Brussels residents. This is a very positive day for Brussels!”, declared Boris Dilliès on the occasion of the Iris Festival this Friday.
The Minister-President delivered a speech in the Brussels Parliament in which he highlighted his government's political and economic ambitions, while sending a message of confidence for the future of Brussels.
The Minister-President also looked back on the achievements of the first three months, including the adoption of a budget enabling the funding of several major projects that will showcase Brussels, such as the congress centre on the Heysel plateau and the Kanal museum.
To celebrate the Region's 37th anniversary, numerous free activities are being organised throughout the weekend: Europe Day organised by the European Union, the Iris Festival celebrations in the municipalities, and the Iris Tipik Electro Night on the Place des Palais with Henri PFR and Meduza.
On Sunday, Brussels residents can also enjoy the Brussels Parliament open day, the Flora Open Air event, as well as numerous family and community activities.
