Hautes Fagnes fire: all levels of government mobilised against the blaze

To tackle this historic fire of nearly 3,000 hectares, almost 500 responders and more than 120 vehicles were mobilised. Firefighters, police, Defence, DNF, farmers, volunteers, Wallonia, the federal level and Europe: everyone worked together. There were no victims and no homes were affected. It was time to act, and the response rose to the occasion.

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

CETA ratification: ten years after the PS's alarmist fuss, the undeniable reality of free trade's benefits

10 years after Paul Magnette's political-media circus, now that the dust has settled, the positive results of CETA for the Walloon economy are undeniable. Tripled exports, negligible imports of Canadian meat, sovereignty intact: absolutely none of the predictions raised by the PS came true, undeniably highlighting the benefits of free trade for our economy.

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 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 free world must stand with the Iranian people in their fight for freedom

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

Farmers' protest of 18 December 2025: understanding the issues and the Belgian position

On 18 December, European farmers protested in Brussels. Their demands centre on the signing of Mercosur and the prospect of a drastic reduction in the CAP budget after 2027. Their anger is legitimate: runaway bureaucracy, lack of strategic vision, rising costs, unfair competition, a weakened CAP. The MR defends a strong CAP serving European powe

War in Ukraine: Russian assets and Euroclear

Our support for Ukraine is total. But supporting Ukraine does not mean putting Belgium at risk. Without genuine European solidarity, the seizure of Russian assets is out of the question: at this stage, no sufficient and credible guarantee has been provided to us. Such a decision would violate international law and expose our country to immense financial, legal, economic and security risks

Situation in Gaza and recognition of Palestine: the Belgian position

The voice of reason has been heard. Palestine will only be legally recognised by Belgium once the hostages have been released and Hamas has completely relinquished power. The priority must remain the humanitarian situation and peace.
