Prime Minister Alexander De Croo was our guest this Sunday. He, among other things, mentioned the Socialist Party’s proposal to work four days a week, without loss of pay. For him, it is inaudible in the north of the country.
“We will never have a strong Flanders if it is not with a strong Belgium. And it is clear that the economic imbalance that we see between Flanders and a certain part of Wallonia is very visible. I think it is important that on the French-speaking side, when we come with political proposals, that they are audible on both sides of the linguistic border and very often, this is not the case.“, says the Prime Minister in response to a question on the 2024 elections.
It is up to our journalist to ask if he is referring to the PS proposal which asks to work four days per week, without loss of salary.
“It’s an example“, replies the Flemish liberal. He continues: “I find it difficult to explain the difference in unemployment between Flanders and parts of Wallonia. If we have to have a priority today, it is all these vacant jobs. You have to fill them out. Let’s work on this.” Before finishing: “Today, saying that we are going to work less in the economic situation in which we find ourselves is a little difficult to explain in Flanders, I find.“
