Brussels Animal Welfare Code Stalled: N-VA Accuses MR of Yielding to PS

In the Brussels regional parliament, opposition party N-VA accuses MR of blocking a vote on the animal welfare code, including a ban on slaughter without stunning. The MR refused to put the N-VA text on the Environment Commission agenda, a move N-VA interprets as yielding to PS pressure. This is a continuation of a long-standing political deadlock in Brussels, where the issue remains unresolved unlike in Flanders and Wallonia.
