The PS is ready to discuss with the N-VA with a view to forming a government, what matters is the content of the discussions, said Tuesday the president of the French-speaking socialists, Paul Magnette, on the set of the chain of LN24 information.
“We can consider governing with the N-VA. What matters is the content. I cannot consider for a second to do with the N-VA what was done by the previous government“said Mr. Magnette.
The PS is not currently participating in discussions with a view to setting up a coalition “Arizona“led by the presidents of the MR, the Open Vld and the CD&V, unlike the sp.a, his Flemish alter ego. This is not a choice, to hear Mr. Magnette.
“We have in essence a sense of responsibility. We are not there just to protest, which distinguishes us from other parties on the left. We are there to make proposals and once we have made them, we fight. We may have dirty hands but at least we have hands, at least we fight to change people’s lives. In essence, we are never going to choose the opposition“, he noted.
L'”emergency“to have a government will be measured at the start of the school year. But, in the eyes of Mr. Magnette, it is even better no government than a bad government. The president of the socialists takes a very critical look at the action led by the “rest of government“current.
“The crisis has not been objectively well managed by the federal government“, he launched, recalling the difficulties which surrounded the supply of masks.”This rest of government has not worked well. If it is to do the same policy as during the past 5 years, I prefer that it does nothing“.
The president of the PS opened the door to a discussion on a reform of the state. “Historically, there is only one point where, between socialists and nationalists, there is debate, it is the reform of the State. We can see that the state no longer works today, the division of skills is of an incredible complexity“, he stressed before deciding in favor of a”clear cutting“by which such competence would be 100% regional or conversely would go back to the federal level.
At a time when the parties of the possible coalition “Arizona“tear each other apart on the issue of abortion, Mr. Magnette wanted to be clear:”I will always refuse to make it a matter of government agreement“.
