Peter Vanhoutte in an extensive interview for CIVIL MEDIA pointed out that early elections are not the solution to the crisis and that the government should continue with its term and fix the problems.

“First of all, early elections are not the solution for the way out of the crisis. There’s a crisis ongoing. For the level of the government, fix the problems, move on, do your work till the end of your term and only then you go for elections. If you have early elections, that will create additional instability, certainly also in view of the accession process with the EU, that will stall again. That’s not the way forward. In addition to that of course, there is huge additional financial cost of organizing elections. That’s not something you do for free. You already have a lot of overspending for the moment on money, due to the high electricity prices and so on, so don’t make it even worse than is already the case. So move on with your government. Create stability and move on to the end of your term”, said Vanhoutte.
