Jambon wants to take a modest position after elections: “We are absolutely not in favor now pole position“
Given the results of N-VA in the polls, Flemish Prime Minister Jan Jambon believes that his party should adopt a modest attitude. He therefore does not want to explicitly profile himself as a candidate for a second term. This became apparent on Wednesday from an interview with ‘Villa Politica’ VRT 1.
Jambon would personally like to see N-VA, CD&V and Open VLD also form the next Flemish government, although given the latest polls, that is not an obvious scenario. “Absolutely,” he replied on Wednesday to a question about whether he wanted to continue with the three. “Because with this government we have been able to implement the center-right policy that we stand for. The coalition agreement was very detailed and we have implemented it almost completely, which is exceptional. For me it can continue, but it is up to the voter to choose the cards.” to lay.”
However, he does not want to put himself in the spotlight as the next Prime Minister. “We are absolutely not in favor right now pole position, so you have to be a bit modest, but I really enjoyed the job. If it were our turn, we will see who is best with us.” According to Jambon, the outgoing Flemish government has endured three crises: the corona crisis, the energy crisis and the nitrogen crisis. “But I can absolutely still work with each of the ministers through a door. They are all different personalities, but I can sit down with each minister calmly and come to conclusions.”
