Is it the approach of the electoral campaign which is straining relations between the MR and Écolo to this extent in a matter which nevertheless has a consensus when it comes to positioning itself as a defender of the Walloon Brabançons victims of the nuisance caused by the flight over the planes landing and taking off at Zaventem airport.
Overview of Walloon Brabant: “The Flemings want their money and butter”
Latest air battle to date: the exit of seven MR mayors from Walloon Brabant. Dissatisfied with the way in which they are forced to organize the investigation into the renewal of Brussels Airport’s permit, they severely criticized the Walloon Minister of the Environment, Céline Tellier (Ecolo)criticizing late sending of notices, documentation only in Dutch, and potentially inaccurate automatic translations.
Écolo immediately responded by detecting a lack of willingness on the part of the MR to consult citizens, highlighting the opportunity for this investigation to assess the impacts of thefts on health and suggest solutions. According to Écolo, the MR favors the economic development of the airport at the expense of the well-being of the inhabitants of Walloon Brabant.

The reaction to the reaction will not have dragged on. This Thursday, December 21, three MR mayors (Florence Reuter, Laurence Rotthier and Vincent Scourneau) wrote a press release denouncing “Ecolo’s lies”.
“Making people believe that the Commons did not set up a public inquiry is a pure lie,” they write, despite the fact that Écolo did not affirm this but denounced it – rightly or wrongly, we will let everyone judge – an unwillingness to put these public inquiries in place. For years, we have been fighting, hand in hand with citizens and associations, to defend the health and well-being of the inhabitants of Walloon Brabant. Ecolo can – be in the habit of turning a blind eye to important issues like that of PFAS, but we take our responsibilities on a daily basis to defend the interests of our fellow citizens. Public inquiries are well underway in all municipalities.”
