It has been twenty-two articles since I last wrote anything about the N-VA, but the medical staff of The morning has declared me fit and so I take office in good spirits. Since that first March, paragraphs about the PVDA, the MR and the Vlaams Belang have flowed from my wrists, and if not every columnist in the world had already done it, I would also have devoted a sheet to Conner Rousseau. Originality is important in this profession.
But now again not a must. If it depends on the N-VA, I read in the morning newspapers, the nineteen Brussels municipalities must be merged and transformed into one city region with one police force, because “six zones, who would do something like that?”, according to the Doge of Deurne. Mentioning his name is no longer necessary. La N-VA, c’est lazy.
He’s right. Why would you leave something that is also insignificant when taken together, split into several parts that may still work together in some areas, but largely act autonomously? Doesn’t the littlest child know that that only makes things less streamlined, inefficient and therefore more expensive? Well, a few people will probably call themselves Ukkelaar or Sint-Joost-ten-Nodeois, but above all they are Brussels residents, as the N-VA is once again the first to realize, no matter how diverse that people may be in terms of income and mother tongue. or political preference.
If there is one thing that does not deter the N-VA, it is diversity.
Flanders’ leader wants to “torpedo Vivaldi at all levels”. According to him, an evolution is noticeable on the French-speaking side regarding the formation of a Brussels government with N-VA on board, as has been the case in Wallonia since he found illustrious Flemish nationalists such as Drieu Godefridi and beyond. The party does impose one condition: a Brussels government with the N-VA is one without the PVDA. And preferably without Vivaldi parts. Who would Mr. Chairman actually have liked to manage with?
No, never mind, don’t answer.
The N-VA wants every euro intended for subsidies to be reversed before it is spent. Much more useful is a drug hotline, where people can report where a cannabis plantation is located or where gangs often deal, while they could just as well have called Eric Goens. She wants to chase homeless people and drug users out of metro stations and send out ‘cleanliness patrols’, who monitor compliance with the rules day and night and can issue fines to those who litter cigarette butts. So much more meaningful than youth work, culture or sheltering the homeless.
Is there sometimes laughter at that party, not because of yet another silly joke, but simply because the sun is shining, for example? Time and again it comes down to punishment, to being strict. The power of chastisement.
