All eyes are on the federal government this week: “Something really needs to be done now, after the summer everyone will go into election mode”

It will be an important week in Wetstraat. “The eyes are federally focused,” said political journalist of VTM News Hannelore Simoens at HLN Live this morning. The first budget talks started last weekend, although they have not yet yielded anything. They will be continued this week, but we shouldn’t expect too much from that either, says Simoens. The government will also consider pensions, tax reform and an agreement with Engie.
