(Brussels Times) While the various political parties remain very discreet about their negotiations to form the Brussels-Capital Region government, the French-speaking liberals MR and regionalist DéFi vetoed the presence of the Team Fouad Ahidar party in a future government.
MR party leader David Leisterh — who is in charge of forming the majority on the French-speaking side of the Brussels government — set his veto against newcomer on the Dutch-speaking side Team Fouad Ahidar.
“There is no way we are going to govern with the party,” he told Bruzz. “It is a party that focuses mainly on the Muslim community and wants to bring religion back into politics, and that is really the opposite of what we want.”
