While Les Engagés have achieved political success in recent months by attracting several personalities (including former minister MR Jean-Luc Crucke), it is the turn of the liberals to draw on the reserves of the turquoise party. In itself, the arrival of Vincent Maillen among the blues will probably not change the electoral campaign but it will perhaps begin the rise in power of the MR in view of the deadlines of June 9.
The transfer of Jean-Luc Crucke to Les Engagés leaves a bittersweet taste for MR
Head of the regional list
Vincent Maillen will be head of the lists for the regional elections in the Namur constituency.
In a press release, the MR presents the ex-Engagés as “an entrepreneur from Namur, host of the Facebook page “Je suis Indépendant” created during the Covid crisis to help people affected by business closures during this period ”.
“Vincent Maillen created his company active in the construction sector in 2002 in Namur and continues to make it prosper today in parallel with his political activity, the press release further specifies. As a prelude to his entrepreneurial destiny, Vincent Maillen served in the air force and had his pilot’s license.”
“I am asked to defend values that I believe in, I adhere to,” declares the future head of the MR list in Namur. With a head of the list in the region I will be able to devote myself 100% to the defense of the independents, of work, to help create wealth with complete peace of mind… The independents are a fabric of incredible wealth, we must put in a serenity of work and desire to undertake. We have to help them.”
Other arrivals at the MR are planned
This arrival is part of a broader program of opening up to new profiles, announced Georges-Louis Bouchez, the president of the MR. “At 2:30 p.m., in the province of Luxembourg, a new candidate will be announced, also from the world of SMEs. Other announcements in other provinces will arrive in the coming days.”
According to the information already circulating, there is no great mystery: in the province of Luxembourg, Thierry Neyens, former boss of Walloon Horeca, will appear as the first deputy of Willy Borsus on the regional list of the MR. He is the current boss of the Arlon hotel-restaurant “Le Peiffeschof”.
The Horeca sector is returning to its pre-crisis level but concerns persist: “Anyone who does not pass on inflation to their prices will go bankrupt”
And it’s not over… The Reform Movement will soon announce the names of candidates who will occupy strategic places for the next elections during the tour of wishes that the party will start on January 7 in Walloon Brabant, in Louvain- la-Neuve.
