Under what conditions should we allow data centres to be built on our territory?

Belgium cannot remain a spectator, nor let others decide in our place where our data and computing power will be located following the AI revolution. Yes to data centres in Wallonia, but with clear rules: creation of a local ecosystem and strengthening of our sovereignty. There is no question of sacrificing our networks and our land without guarantees: every project must b

Intelligently integrating AI into education

Artificial intelligence is already changing schools, and it's happening very fast. If properly managed, it can offer every pupil a tutor available 24/7, while freeing up time for teachers to focus on the pedagogical relationship. The challenge is not to endure or ban AI, but to organise it: training teachers, protecting the fundamentals, creating

Making energy abundant and affordable to reindustrialise Europe

Energy that is too expensive means fewer jobs, less industry and less purchasing power. Europe must change course and rely on abundant, competitive and low-carbon energy to remain an economic power and succeed in its transition. Diversification, nuclear power, simplifying rules and energy sovereignty are the keys to a credible strategy. This is the course we are defend

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

Faced with degrowth, the ecological imperative is prosperity

At the Mouvement Réformateur, we are convinced that it is growth that will save the climate. The figures prove it. Let us reject the false choice between saving the planet and giving up Western living standards. Degrowth is not the solution to the climate challenge: it is the obstacle to it. True ecology is not punitive, it is positive; it is not financed through organised poverty

A historic decision for our energy sovereignty: Belgium reclaims its nuclear future

The Belgian Government, at the initiative of the MR and Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet, is taking a bold step for the country's energy sovereignty: reclaiming Belgium's nuclear assets, halting decommissioning, and irrevocably committing Belgium to relaunching new nuclear power. This historic announcement aims to enable a nuclear operator to extend all the units that can be extended

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

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

The MR is working to bring down prices at the pump!

Energy prices have been rising sharply since early March. The MR is putting measures on the Government's table to protect consumers and bring down prices at the pump. The Government is monitoring the situation in real time. The MR members of the federal Government want to go further by capping fuel prices through the reverse ratchet mechanism. Specifically, we propose

At last a new government in Brussels thanks to the MR BRUSSELS WINS!

Brussels could no longer remain deadlocked: this agreement, after 614 days without a government and 3 days of conclave under formateur Georges-Louis Bouchez, finally gives our capital a new direction. Sound finances, calmer mobility, more affordable housing, a revived economy and strengthened security: the MR is making the Brussels Region functional again. The MR's return to government

Saturated electricity grid: the MR is acting now to guarantee Wallonia's economic future

Every week, business projects in Wallonia are blocked by a saturated electricity grid. The MR is acting: with the “flexibility” decree, we are immediately unblocking connections. But the challenge goes far beyond that: access to power capacity must be thoroughly reformed, we must anticipate, invest in the grid and put an end to outdated approaches. We are working on it. A high-performing electricity grid
