**Once again, the government of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation had included in the programme of its weekly meeting on Thursday the item concerning the projects for the master’s degree and specialisation in Medicine of the University of Mons and the University of Namur.**
Once again, the preliminary draft decree in question, which concerns a total of 57 projects to modify the higher education offer within the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, could not be examined.
One can speak of a complete blockage.
According to our information, the examination of this dossier was postponed at the request of the Minister-President, Pierre-Yves Jeholet. It is the interview that the President of the Socialist Party, Paul Magnette, gave this morning to the Première that poses a problem. “It does not allow for serene exchanges in government”, RTBF has learned.
This morning, as a guest on the Matin Première programme, on Première, Paul Magnette did not beat about the bush. He recalled that he was ready to resort to an alternative majority in the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, if the MR continues to block the creation of a master’s degree in medicine at the UMons.
“If necessary, we will propose to Les Engagés [opposition, editor’s note] to vote on all the authorisations,” explained Paul Magnette in Matin Première. “If there is no agreement, as of next week, there will be initiatives in the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation,” added the PS President.
Within the majority, Ecolo also supports the project of a master’s degree in medicine at the UMons.
The PS will table a proposal for a decree
What will happen? According to our information, the government of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation still has some time to try to find an agreement, but if the chances of unblocking the situation at government level seem slim.
Next week, the dossier should be submitted to the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. It is from there that a possible alternative majority could be built around the issue of the master in medicine, if no agreement is reached within the majority in the next few days. The draft decree blocked by the government would be transformed, as it were, into a draft decree to be discussed and voted on in parliament. In addition to the PS and Ecolo in the majority, the Engagés could support the text. For its part, the PTB has also shown itself to be in favour of the UMons’ master’s project in medicine.
According to La Libre Belgique, the Socialist Party will table a decree proposal on Tuesday. It should be taken into consideration during the plenary session on Wednesday. The text will then be discussed in the Higher Education Committee of the Parliament of the Walloon-Brussels Federation before being voted on by the assembly. According to our information, the decree proposal, once taken into consideration, could be debated in the Higher Education Commission on Tuesday 11 April.

After so many articles on this sub on whether or not the Flemish Government would fall/become fully immobilised because of the nitrogen deal, it seems like its Wallonia’s turn for a government crisis.
ELIF why the MR is against?
