Strike at Skeyes: the MR urgently calls for a minimum service in air traffic!

A strike notice covering 24 nights at Charleroi air traffic control, around 830 threatened flights, up to 300,000 passengers affected: for the second time since June, air traffic control grounds aircraft and damages a major economic engine for Wallonia. At the Mouvement Réformateur, we refuse to let travellers, workers and the Walloon economy pay for conflicts that are not theirs

The MR makes reopening mines in Belgium and Europe a priority

The question of raw materials is no longer technical, it is strategic. Without secure access to resources, there will be no energy sovereignty, no strong industry, and no European autonomy. Today, Europe is massively dependent on powers such as China, a naivety that must end. Belgium has resources and expertise, but must remove the obstacles and rebuild a

Our President sets the course on May Day: less state, more work, more purchasing power

On May Day, the MR was clear: optimism must return to the debate and conditions must be created so citizens want to move forward, work, invest and set up businesses.

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

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

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

Wallonia: The MR wants fewer public officeholders, less public spending, fewer public jobs and more private jobs

Wallonia has more officeholders, more local public jobs and significantly higher spending per inhabitant than Flanders. At the same time, we have fewer private jobs. Rationalising the provinces, merging municipalities and simplifying our structures means freeing up resources and strengthening our economy. The reform of local authorities is a necessity for efficiency and accountabi
