NWe have chosen responsibility to ensure that the movement will be in a chaotic and gloomy situation,” said the two leaders of the Schaerbeek socialists, Hasan Koyuncu and Justine Harzé, in a press release.
“For more than a month and a half, the Schaerbeek PS has been negotiating intensively to get an agreement to create a majority in which it will have a leading position, on the strength of the first percentage score, in seats and in the sight of almost 4,000 votes of choice from his list leader, Hasan Koyuncu,” they said. The two socialist leaders confirmed that “unfortunately, despite continuous hard work, they were not able to reach an agreement still sealed”.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, the College of the outgoing mayor and aldermen decided, according to them, in agreement with the directive and in accordance with article 17 of the new municipal law, to complete that transitional college to ensure current affairs.
This decision is in accordance with the rules of equality and priority provided by law and aims to ensure the correct operation of the city.
As a result of this, Döne Somnez, a socialist city councilor since 2012, will sit on the college for a while, unable.
Reject the “fait accompli”
PS Schaerbeek also specified that he would continue to work hard to ensure that this situation does not continue “because, let’s remember that our goal is not to allow a majority that goes out and loses to continue working in contempt of the survey results.”
“The Schaerbeek PS will not accept being the promoter of a fait accompli policy that does not make it possible to bring about the change that the people of Schaerbeek asked for on October 13. Our responsible choice cannot last forever because it does not respect the choice of the voters. We ask the partners to come to the negotiating table, so that this situation, which is harmful to democracy, ends,” said Hasan Koyuncu and Justine Harzé.

## Interview with Hasan Koyuncu: Schaerbeek socialists’ Lost Opportunity
**World-Today-News.com:** Hasan Koyuncu, leader of the Schaerbeek Socialists, you recently announced that your party would be unable to secure a leading position in the local government despite winning the largest share of votes. What went wrong?
**Hasan Koyuncu:** It’s been a frustrating process, to say the least. The Schaerbeek electorate clearly placed their trust in us by making us the largest party. We entered negotiations in good faith, aiming for an agreement that reflected this mandate.
**WTN:** You mentioned “continuous hard work.” Can you tell us more about the negotiation process and the challenges you faced?
**HK:** Negotiations have been complex. We engaged in extensive discussions with various parties, exploring different possibilities for forming a viable majority. The complexity stems from the diversity of political viewpoints and the need to reconcile differing agendas.
**WTN:** While you haven’t disclosed details about the failed agreement, can you share broader insights into the obstacles that prevented a deal?
**HK:** While we cannot divulge specifics, I can say that reaching a consensus on key policy issues proved challenging. There were fundamental differences regarding priorities and approaches to addressing the concerns facing Schaerbeek residents.
**WTN:** What are the implications of this impasse for the Schaerbeek Socialists and the future of local governance?
**HK:** This is a setback, undoubtedly. We are disappointed that we were unable to form a government that reflected the democratic will of the people. However, we remain committed to serving the interests of Schaerbeek residents. We will continue to be a strong voice in opposition, offering constructive criticism and pushing for policies that benefit our community.
**WTN:** Looking ahead, what are your next steps?
**HK:** We will analyze the negotiation process and identify areas where we can improve in the future. We will continue to engage with all stakeholders and strive to build bridges across political divides.
Our ultimate goal remains the same: to create a thriving and equitable Schaerbeek for all its residents.
**WTN:** Thank you for your time and insights, Hasan Koyuncu.
**HK:** You’re welcome.
