On Monday, 5 October, from 18:30 to 21:30, BEPACT will host Alexia Bertrand, former State Secretary for Budget and Group Leader of Anders. in the Federal Parliament, and Geraldine Mahieu, Deputy Director-General at DG ECFIN, for a Political Café dedicated to the Belgian budget negotiations.
How do Belgian budget negotiations really work? Is it purely a matter of high-level finance, or do political bargaining and compromise play an equally important role? Drawing on the inside perspectives of both speakers, we will explore the requirements and dynamics shaping budget negotiations, and discuss where and how public affairs can play a role in the process.
The programme for the evening is as follows:
