    Belgian Socialist Leader Paul Magnette Challenges €20 Billion Military Spending: 'Who Will Pay? You!'

    Brussels, Belgium – Paul Magnette, President of the Belgian Socialist Party, delivered a strong address in Parliament today, questioning the government's proposed allocation of an additional 20 billion euros towards military expenditures. Magnette asserted that this substantial financial burden would ultimately fall on Belgian citizens.During his speech, the Socialist leader cited Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez as a model, highlighting Sanchez's opposition to what Magnette termed 'crazy military spending.' Magnette passionately argued for a reallocation of funds, stating, 'Less planes, more pensions!'He further challenged the government to disclose how these increased defense costs would be financed, pointing out that vital public sectors such as justice, police, and healthcare are already struggling. 'Is it still the workers, the pensioners, the sick who will contribute?' Magnette asked, emphasizing the strain on these essential services. His remarks underscore a growing debate within Belgium regarding national spending priorities amidst current economic pressures.
