>Uit WhatsApp-verkeer waar *Knack* de hand op kon leggen blijkt dat het kabinet van premier Alexander De Croo (Open VLD) wel degelijk de begroting heeft goedgekeurd zoals ze aanvankelijk werd voorgelegd door staatssecretaris voor Begroting Eva De Bleeker (Open VLD). De premier heeft dat de voorbije weken steeds ontkend. Vorige week ontkende hij zelfs het bestaan van de WhatsApp-berichten.

>Op woensdag 9 november om 17.23 uur stuurt het kabinet van premier Alexander De Croo (Open VLD) twee WhatsApp-berichten naar de begrotingsverantwoordelijke van het kabinet van staatssecretaris voor Begroting Eva De Bleeker (Open VLD) over de teksten van de begroting 2023. De berichten luiden: ‘is dus ok voor ons’ en ‘merci voor aanpassingen!’

Whatsapp ??? Is that an official tool at our govt?
Everything stinks in this debacle – a prime minister flat out lying – this should be enough to demand they step down and with it the whole govt.
As mentioned this week already – people should be out on the streets for our deep red figures
If true, this would be a big scandal and De Croo will have to resign.
De lepe vos
This was already known from comments from the cabinet of de bleecker and what most yournliast had deducted (these documents are seen by several ministers and their cabinet not possible they all missed this) . But it good to get it confirmed de croo is lying once again.
Whatsapp? Fucking Whatsapp? For quasi-official governmental chitchat? Get the fuck out of here, that alone is worth a scandal.
Why are official government discussions happening on whatsapp. No wonder stuff gets leaked all the time.
The messages have been confirmed as true but what’s the context.
– Hey, we just rewrote part 10.1.3 which you had remarks about, can you reread and approve this?
* “Is dus ok voor ons” en “merci voor aanpassingen!”
So what happened with De Bleeker? Cushion job at some state company?
Also, weird that she got fired. As if a minister is doing the Excel. That should be done by her department, not even her cabinet (even though these tend to become mini-departments in size).
