Federal Government Break: Tensions, Selfies, and the Failure of Tax Reform

2023-07-21 21:45:23

It had been a long time since we had seen them so smiling, gathered around the same table. The members of the federal government take the break for a selfie, around a few servings of fries, beers for some and soft drinks for others. A menu of circumstances, on this national holiday followingnoon. The tensions of the last few weeks seem to have been put aside… A simple facade?

Behind his big smile, Alexander De Croo is not fooled. It is not a selfie that will make us forget the failure of the tax reform, buried barely three days ago. 72 hours punctuated by media releases from each party of the Vivaldi, failing to assume a collective failure. The responsibility of the left for the MR, the fault of the MR for the left, the partners passed the buck.

I would have preferred to be here and have an agreement, but to have an agreement that our children were going to have to pay, that was not a good agreement. When this is not possible or when a bad deal is being made, it is better not to do it.“, said the Prime Minister on the sidelines of the parade.
