Alex Reed of Matin Première this September 11, Bart De Wever reaffirmed that French speakers will have to choose between the confederalism proposed by his party and the chaos caused by the announced victory of the far right. A Manichaeist vision of the future of Belgium tempered by Ivan De Vadder and Béatrice Delvaux, in the ‘Parti pris’ of Matin Première.

In full promotion of his essay Wokea movement he describes as “violation of freedom of expression“, the president of the N-VA sent a clear message to the Walloons: negotiating confederalism, in an orderly manner, will be inevitable following the 2024 elections. Because behind the Flemish nationalist party, the other heavyweight is Vlaams Belang, synonym “of political chaos“. A threat from the extreme right that puts into perspective Ivan De Vadder. “It was the CVP in the past which always had the same threat: ‘We have to negotiate with us, otherwise there will be something else, nationalists for example’. Now Bart De Wever keeps the same promise“. The political journalist at VRT, however, underlined the ambition of the president of the N-VA, delivered on the plateau of Seventh Day : there will be no coalition like the Swedish one with the MR, which he sees as the “little fish swimming in a red sea“but a restricted cabinet with”the parties that want to change the history of the country“. The ideal partner in Wallonia would be the PS.

For the chief editorialist of EveningDe Wever’s essay “don’t run out of air“. “Suddenly we should gather around a common enemy which would be the Wokists while Bart De Wever spent his time making the Walloons the common enemy of the Flemings […] Its French-speaking offensive remains on its confederalism under the cover of wokism. Before it was under cover (of the pact) of Marrakech“.
