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

Artificial intelligence is already changing schools, and it's happening very fast.

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

Oil and coal boilers: Wallonia confirms a gradual, pragmatic and socially responsible transition

Rather than an abrupt ban from 2026, the choice has been made to push the deadline back to 2031, to provide for exemptions where alternatives are not possible and to maintain transitional solutions for households. This reform, which confirms a gradual, pragmatic and socially responsible transition, comes with stronger support to speed up the replacement of heating systems, without leaving anyone behind.

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
