In expected socdem fashion the Socdem Party and the Greens are saying they don’t want to 1) govern with us 2) see us govern at all and they’d rather get behind the ruling neolib parties that have been ruling for the last two decades. They’d rather go for another 6 years of racist austerity than for a leftist coalition.
Not that the Greens are the ones to talk. They are struggling to beat the election cutoff and might turn irrelevant in the city. The Socdems are doing a bit better but marginally so. Turns out neoliberal policies don’t go well with your left wing voters. Meanwhile 1 in 4 people voted for us in the national elections back in June. 1 in 4. We could very well have a coalition solely consisting of left wing parties to do whatever we want.
But nope. Call us extremists instead and focus on the neolibs.
We shouldnt give up hope yet - we got more then a few clandestine members in vooruit and groen that will try to help put pressure on their leadership after sunday. Ig its gonna depend on how high our score is although its no doubt gonna be hard w conner running things atm considering his love fest w de wever. It would be awesome to have a ml mayor of antwerp but i dont think its gonna be in the cards this time, we should be able to enter local gov in some other places though
