How the formation in the last straight line almost missed: “Bouchez had already stuck his valies, but Prévot could get him back”

After two days of quasi non-stop negotiations, Formateur Bart De Wever (N-VA) yesterday afternoon put his ultimate compromise proposal on the board of the other party presidents: to take or leave it. In the text, among other things, a higher capital gain tax, which MR chairman Georges-Louis Bouchez ignited in a French Colère. He stormed outside with his suitcase in his hand, but Les Engagés chairman Maxime Prévot brought him back. This is the story of how the coalition agreement came about, with one last moment of crisis and even a therapeutic session.
