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

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

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 MR launches its major project on municipal mergers

We must reduce the number of political mandates in our country. This will allow us to make the state apparatus more efficient and make savings. We must put municipal mergers on the table, a necessity to strengthen the efficiency and quality of local services. Every project must take account of realities on the ground and be built together with local elected representatives. The M

A historic reform of the provinces in Wallonia with the abolition of the provincial councils.

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

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

An end to fragmentation: making way for a
