The majority parties (Green, Open VLD, Vooruit, CD&V) do not call for voting, but do provide voting advice. They state that the first question should be answered with ‘no’, and the second with ‘yes’. Opposition parties PVDA and Vlaams Belang do call on people to vote and to give a positive answer twice. N-VA considers the consultation unnecessary, but states that it would give two negative answers to the questions.
NVA, thanks for being always in favor of democracy and social measures… /s
