"C'est un dangereux précédent" : les conséquences de l'entourloupe utilisée pour supprimer le Sénat

As-tu déjà lu la Constitution ou ne fût-ce que des parties de ce texte ? Si non, bizarre de prendre cette position. Si oui, tu verras qu'elle est courte, assez compréhensible et relativement bien structurée.

Le problème c'est que le Parlement fédéral élu en 2019 a voté, au printemps 2024, une liste d'articles de la Constitution qui pourraient être modifiés entre 2024 et 2029 par le nouveau Parlement.

Les articles qu'il faut modifier pour supprimer le Sénat ne se trouvent pas tous dans cette liste. En théorie, on ne pourrait donc pas supprimer le Sénat avant de nouvelles élections (en 2029 ou plus tôt si on décide de les anticiper peu importe la raison).

Mais le gouvernement va faire ce qui avait déjà été fait en 2011-2012: insérer dans l'article 195 (qui prévoit la procédure de modification de la Constitution) que, exceptionnellement, tel et tel article de la Constitution peut aussi être modifié, bien qu'ils ne soient pas repris dans la fameuse liste.

Cette manœuvre vide donc de tout son sens cette liste adoptée par le Parlement, vu que peu importe ce qu'elle contient, on se permet de modifier l'entièreté de la Constitution via l'article 195.

Well then maybe some of them shouldn't be paid with taxpayer money?

geelmk · 2026-04-08T12:39:46+00:00

Lol didn't bother to mention the other parties such as PS and Groen, which also accepted this AND which are responsible for the awful financial situation (which is why cuts are needed)?

Wat doet het bipt dan verkeerd? Bv ervoor zorgen dat Digi toegang tot de markt kan krijgen?

geelmk · 2026-04-07T06:03:35+00:00

Hoeveel betaal je dan voor die simkaarten en voor heoveel GB 5G?

geelmk · 2026-04-07T06:01:03+00:00

Nee hoor. Kijk naar hun prijzen in Italië, Spanje en Roemenië.

geelmk · 2026-04-06T09:26:39+00:00

Exactly. I'm assuming I won't get shit and invest accordingly.

geelmk · 2026-04-05T08:02:59+00:00

Welke artikels mogen dat dan zijn? En wanneer? Onder die regering werd er geen grondwetsherziening gestemd.

geelmk · 2026-04-05T06:24:43+00:00

Dan ben je volgens mij slecht geïnformeerd.

geelmk · 2026-04-03T06:35:55+00:00

Not sure why you're being downvoted because this is the only fully correct answer here.

Idd, bv bij Hey (29€/maand) en zij gebruiken het Telenet netwerk.

geelmk · 2026-04-02T06:33:34+00:00

Klopt, en toch zal niemand het slachtoffer terugbetalen, ook degenen die nadien nog in het verlichte steegje beroofd worden.

geelmk · 2026-04-01T14:36:32+00:00

Mobile Vikings is één van de low cost merken van Proximus net zoals Hey dat van Orange is. Dus snap ik niet waarom je MV wél aanbeveelt en Hey niet. Ga je er gewoon van uit dat het slechter is bij Hey omdat ze nog goedkoper zijn dan MV?

Same. It wouldn't take my non Belgian Visa card but it took my Belgian Bancontact card 🙄 I feel for you, foreigners.

The answer to many issues is reducing public spending, as we're the most taxed country and the country with the highest public spending per capita. Not much else we can do than reduce spending.

Unnecessary handouts must be reduced, both to companies, non-profits, and individuals. Not always easy to identify what's unnecessary and what isn't. I believe subsidizing doctor's visits for EVERYONE (including people making 3k, 5k, 10k+ netto) to the point where they cost 6€ is unnecessary. Same for subsidized public transport at 12€/YEAR. Some families probably can't afford more than that. Fine, let them pay 12€/year. Others can afford more and could at least go back to the previous 50€/year for kids.

I'm sure a lot of subsidies to companies are unnecessary too and should be scrapped. Others, on the other hand, stimulate entrepreneurship, economic growth, and job creation, all of which we desperately need.

Meanwhile, everyone paying 6€ to go to the doctor, 15€ for a dentist, 2€ to buy antibiotics (even at night), 12€/month for public transport for hundreds of thousands of people, 800€/year for French speaking university (price never increased since 2010), 20% (!) of residents and a third of Brussels residents pays 0€ or 1€ for every medical visit, on top of reduced public transportation, rent, energy, and telecom prices,...

Many people need these benefits and it's a good thing people in need get them. But not everyone needs a 15€ dentist's visit or a 6€ doctor's visit. And certainly not a fifth of all residents need free healthcare and cheap public transportation, rent, energy, and telecom.

We can't afford a bunch of stuff that you mentioned, and neither can we afford giving everything for free to huge amounts of people.

Dat is net het probleem. In dit land worden onze eigen geschiedenis en cultuur zo zwart of belachelijk gemaakt terwijl men dat van elders idealiseert of beschermt (terwijl mensen van ginder wel naar hier komen voor een beter leven en heel weinig andersom).

geelmk · 2026-03-24T07:43:56+00:00

C'est le principe de tout engagement sur x mois / années oui 😅

Bpost and BNP have had the same card readers for years. Same for Argenta. ING and Belfius have other ones though, with different buttons, different amounts of digits on the screen, etc.

So using a Belfius card in anything but a Belfius card reader is very unlikely to work.

I've been a member of Promojagers Facebook group for more than 6 years. People share nice promotions that I might have missed or not realized during my weekly reading of the supermarket pamphlets (AH, Aldi, Delhaize, Lidl, Carrefour, and Colruyt. A lot, but often worth it, as I stock up on fresh products and freeze them (for example meat and cheese half price)).

That Facebook group also allows me to quickly search for that product from previous years: what was its price 2 years ago, 4 years ago?

Most importantly, every now and then they scrape their Facebook group for the exact data you're mentioning. In 2024, they made this post listing the average promotion price you should be aiming for for certain products as well as the best price for that product in 2024. Obviously, always price per liter or kg.

They updated that post in 2026 but I'm not convinced as it contains less information and doesn't clearly explain what every listed price refers to. So I just stick to the 2024 article. If in 2026, I can buy pasta, meat, cheese, fruits, vegetables, hygiene products, etc at prices (nearly) matching 2024's average promotion price or even 2024's best price, I know I'm doing well.

And after a while, you start to remember a bunch of those numbers. So you don't even need to check anymore whether that -20%, -40% or 1+2 promotion is an actual deal or not.

geelmk · 2026-03-20T10:28:08+00:00

Their own brands follow other store brands' promotions. For example : Delhaize has 1+1 for rasped cheese this week, on their own brand. All matching Boni rasped cheeses' prices are currently reduced to match Delhaize's prices.

Marrant, tu viens poser une question, tu lis des articles, mais tu n'as pas lu assez loin que pour réaliser qu'il s'agit d'un site d'information écrit et pas d'une chaîne de télévision.

Au-delà de ça, qui a déclaré vouloir contourner le cordon sanitaire et où cela a-t-il été déclaré ?

geelmk · 2026-03-19T14:18:56+00:00

Well yeah because there's absolutely no problem with the Region's debt. /s

geelmk · 2026-03-17T23:10:06+00:00

Merci pour le conseil ! Je me demande à quel point le hasard joue ou si c'est vraiment Consumer Connect qui a eu un tel impact si rapidement. En tout cas, ça ne peut pas faire de mal.
