In this time of energy crisis, what is the N-VA’s point of view on the extension of nuclear power and its possible dangers? Theo Francken, N-VA federal deputy responds to the microphone of Martin Buxant on LN24 .
“We live in a fairly dangerous world with huge geopolitical challenges and I think the dogmatism of the Greens is a big problem for the government and for the Belgian people. This must stop,” said the Flemish nationalist, faced with the refusal of ecologists to bet on nuclear power in this energy crisis. “There is a great asset in the government, it is Georges-Louis Bouchez (the president of the MR is however not present in the government but his party is, editor’s note.). From the first day, he really defended nuclear and I think he was right. I don’t completely agree with all his points, but on this one he is right. When I heard the Minister of Energy Tinne Van der Straeten (Groen) to say that it was thanks to her that we had extended nuclear power, I thought to myself that she was lying.”
