Feasibility of confederalism is a political lie, says Van Grieken

In his speech, Van Grieken is very strict about the N-VA, which is aiming for a confederal system. “There is by no means a two-thirds majority in favor of De Wever’s confederalism. Not among the Walloon liberals of Bouchez and not among the Flemish liberals of Lachaert. There is no confederal will among the socialists of Rousseau and not even with the Walloon socialists from Magnette, who recently publicly shot the N-VA track,” said the VB chairman.

He therefore calls on Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon to change the gun. “Now that the PS has fired confederalism, opt for a unilateral declaration of sovereignty in 2024, together with Vlaams Belang, so that we can work towards an orderly division of estates. Together we can finally give the Flemish what they want: a right-wing and Flemish policy,” it sounds like. the.

If there were a V-majority in 2024 (a majority with N-VA and VB, ed.), “then that should not be a lever to save Belgium, as Jan Jambon proposes. Then that should not be a means to N-VA members to make ministers in a government dominated by the PS,” says Van Grieken. “If there is a V-majority in 2024, it must serve to dismantle Belgium. (…) Because only in an independent Flanders can we regain control of our own borders, strengthen our purchasing power and we can keep Flemish.”
