Energy crisis: the MR secures €80 million to support those who go to work every morning

€80 million, targeted at working people to cope with rising energy prices and funded from the State's gains: the MR has secured concrete measures for purchasing power. Support for workers, protection of vulnerable households, help for the self-employed and farmers. Real action, not announcements for show. Protect without going off track. Act without taxing.

More than half of long-term sick people found fit to work: The MR says stop to fake claims and defends genuine patients

Nearly one in two long-term sick people could work again: we can no longer turn a blind eye. Belgium has become the country of inactivity, up 150% in 20 years: our system must be reformed. We must protect genuine patients, while also supporting those who can return to work. Solidarity must remain fair: firm against abuse, humane for those who truly

Free schooling: a principle upheld, clearer boundaries

Illegal residence: green light for home visits when our security is at stake

As provided for in the government agreement, and in order to combat illegal residence, the government has agreed to authorise home visits at places where persons who refuse to cooperate with their return and who pose a threat to public order or national security are staying. With the authorisation of an investigating judge, the police will be able to

Reforming the APE scheme to restore fairness, transparency and efficiency

For 5 years, no controls at all: the result, nearly one in two employers in breach. The era of laissez-faire is over. The MR is restoring order to the APE scheme to protect jobs, guarantee fairness and respect every euro of public money. Reforming means having the courage to act.

The MR and the Walloon Government are relaunching Wallonia

On 8 April, the Walloon Minister-President, Adrien Dolimont, set the course for Wallonia: to become an industrial engine of Europe. That means: abundant and affordable base energy, an end to the most absurd European constraints, massive investments in energy infrastructure and strategic industries, attracting talent and servers here, in order to at

Expensive energy is blocking decarbonisation. It is not inevitable but a political choice

Given the current economic climate and certain reforms imposed by the EU, we risk having structurally expensive energy. This undermines our sovereignty and our ability (i) to ensure our prosperity and (ii) to decarbonise. The Mouvement Réformateur wants to raise awareness. Europe is highly vulnerable geopolitically in terms of energy. It must return to the p

Thanks to the MR, the government will send foreign inmates back to their country

Our prisons are overflowing. 43% of inmates in Belgium are foreigners, nearly double the European average: with Arizona, we are making the return of illegally staying inmates the primary lever in the fight against prison overcrowding. At the same time, we are creating more prison places, concluding agreements abroad and strengthening security with zero tolerance for terrorism,

Pension reform: safeguarding the system's sustainability and rewarding work

Our pension system is at risk. If we do nothing, today's young people will no longer be able to count on a decent pension tomorrow. The Arizona reform changes this: it rewards those who have actually worked, ends unfair privileges, and guarantees a sustainable system for future generations. The MR supports this reform because it is fair, courageous a

The Spanish socialist miracle is no such thing

The left keeps repeating, in bad faith, that pursuing a socialist policy, made up of tax increases and mass regularisations of people in illegal residence, is the miracle solution: “look at Spain!” the left proclaims, “GDP growth there is significant!” it says.

The West and democrats and liberals around the world must stand with the Iranian people and support the military operation led by the United States and Israel aimed at destroying the Iranian regime's ballistic missile capabilities and preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Iranian regime is one of the greatest destabilising forces in the world and has long tried to organis
