PVDA leader calls for millionaire tax, criticizes coalition partners

PVDA chairman Raoul Hedebouw used the ManiFiesta event to push for a 'real millionaire tax', contrasting it with the coalition's VAT increase and healthcare costs. He singled out governing parties Vooruit and MR for criticism, signaling left-wing pressure ahead of budget negotiations. The proposal is unlikely to be adopted but reflects growing inequality discourse in Belgian politics.
