@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard 🧵(6/6) It would appear that the pro-EU stance of the current federal government will therefore not result in electoral gains in June 2024, an unfortunate final note to a so far successful Presidency of the Council 🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard bit.ly/3yDYUUx

🧵(5/6) Belgians aged 16 will have the right/obligation to vote in the EU election for the first time. Belgium joins the small club of member states that allow their citizens to vote from the age of 16/17 Austria Germany Malta Greece 🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard bit.ly/3yDYUUx

🧵(4/6) 75% of Belgians indicated that they were likely to vote, slightly above the EU average (71%). Taking into consideration that voting is mandatory in Belgium, this number is not that high 🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard bit.ly/3yDYUUx

🧵(3/6) A mega election campaign pushes political parties to prioritise where their money should be spent. As parties perceive marginal gain in the European elections they tend to naturally prioritise the federal & regional ballots🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard bit.ly/3yDYUUx

🧵(2/6) While holding the elections for the respective assemblies on the same day has a practical advantage, it reduces the capacity to identify which level of power is competent for which matter 🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard bit.ly/3yDYUUx

🧵(1/6) The Belgians will head to the polls to cast their votes in 3 elections: regional, federal & European. Although Belgium is holding the Presidency of the Council for the 13th time the European election is gaining the least traction🇧🇪@bodsonEU @DenDoovenWard

I welcome the end of negotiations for an Association Agreement with Andorra & San Marino.
It will enshrine our privileged relationship.
#Andorra & #SanMarino are located in the heart of Europe. They will now be closer members of the EU family than ever.
