To take only the federal government, Écolo has had difficulty doing well in the Vivaldian game. The Covid pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine, the energy crisis, etc., have pushed environmental issues into the background. Furthermore, the record of Green ministers is not very visible. What are the Green issues that will have marked the legislature? The answer is not evident.
In addition, the party had to swallow some enormous snakes: the extension of nuclear reactors, the unprecedented increase in the Belgian military budget, questionable management of migration issues by Vivaldi… Enough to confuse the voters and activists of a party whose Its origins come, among other things, from the pacifist movement and the fight against atomic energy. And we should not forget the “logogate”, this hiccup in terms of political ethics which took with it the former Secretary of State for Equal Opportunities, Sarah Schlitz.
Political poll: Socialists in a strong position to take the post of Prime Minister
The price of political maturity?
To see the bottle half-filled, Écolo does not completely collapse in voting intentions: 11.6% in Wallonia and 13% in Brussels (without taking into account the results of Groen in the Capital Region). It’s not Berezina. Even if they lose weight, the Greens retain their electoral core. Which could indicate that the party of Rajae Maouane and Jean-Marc Nollet, which has existed for more than forty years, has reached a form of political maturity.
However, while the PS is beginning a comeback and the MR is obtaining good results, the environmentalists are the weak link in the parties in power on the French-speaking side. If this trend were to be confirmed, will Écolo be able to serve Paul Magnette’s plans in 2024, namely to reject the liberals in the opposition by forming “Oliviers” (alliances of socialists, ecologists and Committed)?
“It’s the start of the campaign”: will the Greens bring down the De Croo government?
This survey was carried out by the Kantar institute via an online survey from September 10 to October 9 among 436 voters living in Wallonia, 566 voters living in Flanders and 545 voters living in Brussels with the right to vote in the 2024 national elections. Their representativeness was weighted according to the Belgian population according to age, level of education, professional status and province. The maximum margin of error is 4.4% in all three regions.
