Ann Van Haute wrote that 10 billion is being sought to reduce the budget deficit, not to pay off the national debt or to structurally address the causes of the deficit.

According to her, citizens pay a government to solve problems, not to finance them time and again. #begrotingstekort #staatsfinanciën #hervormingen (translated)
