Who will be the prime minister of a possible Vivaldi II government? “It’s not about the people. I respect the personal and political qualities of Alexander De Croo. When we made that decision together, the two formations had similar weight (the socialist family had 29 seats and the liberal family 26, ed.).”
“If tomorrow more citizens vote for better wages, more investments in health, more investments in security and if the socialist family becomes the largest, I am prepared to take my responsibility,” Magnette said.
“The real question is where we want to go with our country? I believe in this country. In Flanders there are people who think of problems when they look at Wallonia or Brussels. I see incredible possibilities,” says De Croo.
“That is the real choice: will we still be able to work together on June 10 to strengthen our country? I have shown that I am able to bring people together. To do that, we must come up with solutions that can be heard on both sides of the country,” says De Croo.
The two leaders differed in substance in a number of areas, including in the areas of taxation and work.
