New TEC fares: restoring financial room for manoeuvre to improve public transport

The increase in TEC fares is neither a scandal nor a social setback: it marks the end of a policy of artificially low prices, financed on credit by Walloon taxpayers. The aim is to put public transport back on a responsible track and bring its fares closer to those charged by other public operators, notably De Lijn. Under the guise of generosity, the policy pursued

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

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

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

Road toll sticker: making foreign road users contribute, without a single euro more for Belgians

For twenty years, millions of foreign motorists have crossed Belgium without ever contributing to the upkeep of our roads. That's now over. From 1 May 2027, the road toll sticker will make every user pay for the roads they use. And for Belgians? No need to worry: the sticker will be fully offset by a reduction in vehicle taxation. Not a single euro more from the wa

After decades of PS management of cities, where are the results?

PS mayors are demanding more money for the major cities. Yet these are the very cities that already receive massive support from Wallonia and record the lowest employment rates in the country. The real question is not how much more Wallonia should give, but what results have been achieved after decades of socialist management.

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.

Clientelism: when the PS uses social welfare funds for electoral purposes

Clientelism is not an accident, it is an organised system. 3 concrete cases now show how social aid and housing become tools for electoral loyalty-building for the PS, while public structures are managed as party annexes. Result: tens of millions of euros lost in Mons, suspicious allocations in Anderlecht alongside t
