Meyrem Almaci, leader of the party, is thinking in particular of organizing more car-free Sundays or even limiting the maximum speed on the motorway to 110 km / h, as is the case for example in the Netherlands. The party also expects “short-term” government intervention to moderate prices as well as structural measures to combat “fuel dependence”.
For the Flemish Greens, the proposals on the government table are not enough. “If we just lower fuel taxes, without doing anything structural, we will always be in the same crisis every two years and we, as a society, will never be independent in terms of fuel dependence. fossils”, pleads Ms. Almaci.
Federal Economy Minister Pierre-Yves Dermagne (PS) met Friday with Energia, the former Belgian Petroleum Federation. He indicated that a lasting solution is being actively sought to prevent the consumer from excessive fuel price increases while preventing the distributor from selling at a loss.
Groen wants to go further, with, among other things, a “significant mobility budget” for those who wish to give up their car, a reduction in the price of public transport tickets, VAT at 6% for the purchase of a new bicycle, etc. .
