While they are supposed to focus on reimbursing healthcare costs, they invest in shares, bonds, shops or even hotels. It is time to put an end

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

Contrary to what is being circulated, the CPAS will not be left to face the additional demands linked to the time-limiting of unemployment benefits on their own. The federal government has planned unprecedented compensation: €26 million as early as 2025 to prepare for the reform, then more than €300 to €700 million per year between 2026 and 2030. Resources are increasing sharply for staff, support and activation

Prison overcrowding: How will Arizona and the MR empty our prisons?

Too many foreign inmates fill our prisons today. 43% of the Belgian prison population is made up of people of foreign origin, often without a residence permit. The MR's priority is clear: empty our prisons of foreign inmates so they serve their sentence in their home country. It is a matter of justice, efficiency and common sense.

Cutting taxes to increase revenue: the example of excise duties

It is often believed that to increase tax revenue, taxes must be raised. Yet it is possible to increase revenue by lowering taxes! Excise duties are a good example; by lowering taxes on certain products, consumers are discouraged from buying them abroad, which increases consumption in Belgium and therefore … revenue!

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.
