Several MPs still insist on a hearing, if necessary behind closed doors. “It seems obvious and logical that the NMBS comes to give the necessary explanation, certainly because the points (which the various candidates received, ed.) List so close together,” said Niels Tas (Vooruit) for example.
Franky Demon (CD&V) and Annick Lambrecht (Vooruit) also argued for a hearing behind closed doors, because “there must be sufficient transparency”. “That deserves at least a committee session, whether or not confidential or behind closed doors,” it also sounded at Dimitri Legasse (PS).
