INTERVIEW. Yves Leterme, the last to let CD&V win an election: "The end of that cartel with N-VA is a historic mistake"

Former Prime Minister Yves Leterme (CD&V) is today a director and advisor for a living. He lives in Paris, but he returns to our country twice a month. We spoke to him. About agriculture: “Fortunately, there is the Boerenbond.” About the party: “CD&V is no longer a broad people’s party.” About Sammy Mahdi. “He has my number. But if the party called, I don’t know what I would answer.” He does in our conversation. Even outspoken: “We live on a fault line: there are no Belgian political parties, there is no Belgian language, there are no Belgian media.”
