Flemish government in deepest crisis ever. What now, Jambon?

  1. I had 2 political parties on my “2024 election scratchcard” that I didn’t rule out yet for a vote: Vooruit and CD&V. Guess we are down to 1 party. 1 more year to do something stupid Vooruit and I’ll be voting Blanco for the first time ever.

  2. Fuck CD&V & the farmers. They had their chance to be reasonable. Let’s do the Dutch approach now, and ban any new permits for farm expansions or modifications.

  3. Pretty cowardious to do this on the Flemish level of CD&V, they know there can’t be new elections so fucking over the population will not have -immediate- repercussions. They would never dare to do this if the government could fall and there would be new elections.

  4. Poor N-VA: permanently complaining that Belgium doesn’t work anymore and now they can’t even seem to make Flanders work anymore.. guess the next target should be democracy in their constant search for an enemy

  5. In a functioning democracy Jambon would announce the resignation of his government and call new elections. This being Flanders, that is not even a legal option…

  6. What a shit show lol, looks like the propaganda machine isn’t working so well anymore. Jambon my ass

  7. Jambon/NVA can’t even get the Flemish government to work, with three parties. And then they dare claim that Belgium doesn’t work?

  8. Crisis in the North, bankruptcy in the South. Add inflation wrecking the economy and an out of control debt and the next election will be a feast for populist parties.

  9. I just want food that doesn’t poison the environment and is a little less carcinogenic.

    Is that too much to ask?

  10. Ever?!
    That is since they couldn’t form one in the middle of a global pandemic?
    Or since they set world records for longest time without a government?

  11. I’m not as much up to date as I’d like to be. I assume this is about nitrogen, but do the alternatives (of lowering it?) cost too much? Because if so… Pretty valid argument, considering how little money farmers (seem to) make.

    But as I said, I haven’t followed the story closely.

  12. This Flemish government has been utterly useless from the start. They’ve not decided anything significant in the past 4 years and now that they were finally about to, it falls apart.

    The Flemish government had been a failed experiment. Time to federalise all major decisions and appoint a few people to handle daily business in Flanders.
