The N-VA and the Vlaams Belang neck and neck in the latest VRT and Standaard survey.
The far right remains the leading party in terms of voting intentions in Flanders… The PTB/Pvda is now also progressing in the north of the country. Result: the CD&V finds itself last party of Flanders in this barometer. The Flemish Christian Democrats fall below the symbolic bar of 10% and only collect 8.7% of voting intention, once morest 9% for the Pvda…
What revive the doubts that are expressed around the management of the party
for several weeks the Flemish media have been wondering regarding the ability of President Joachim Coens to restore momentum to the CD&V. His term as President expires in December of this year.
He therefore decided to speed up the procedure.
Mahdi successer?
The president of the CD&V, Joachim Coens, will ask his party council to organize early presidential elections.
The Party Council will vote next Thursday.
The name of Sammy Mahdi is regularly mentioned to take over the leadership of the CD&V and the Secretary of State for Migration is finding it increasingly difficult to hide his ambitions for the presidency. It must be said that the CD&V has been going through a difficult period since the arrival of Joachim Coens at its head in 2019.
The party struggles to exist in the federal government. In the Flemish government, Minister Wouter Beke has been under fire from critics for several months. The party’s long-announced process of refounding has finally resulted in a cosmetic change of slogan and logo… rain and good weather in Belgium.
