In Ghent, the city council officially approved the multi-year budget. This means the annual budget cut of €120 million has been finalized. The majority (Voor Gent and Groen) voted in favor, while the opposition (N-VA, Vlaams Belang, CD&V, and PVDA) voted against. There were no surprises, except for the very tight timing of the final debates.
