  • La faillite de la Sabena a été prononcée
    Le Tribunal de Commerce a prononcé hier après-midi la faillite de la Sabena. Au même moment, le Premier ministre Guy Verhofstadt, le ministre des Entreprises publiques Rik Daems et le ministre des Finances Didier Reynders, recevaient en un endroit tenu secret certains candidats-investisseurs dans une nouvelle compagnie aérienne belge. Le Premier ministre serait arrivé à mobiliser des investisseurs qui apporteraient 200 millions d'EUR. Il s'agirait des trois gouvernements régionaux et de cinq banques belges. Selon les syndicats, toutefois, il y a un agenda caché et la construction d'une nouvelle entreprise avait été décidée d'avance. Ils ont réussi à intercepter un fax émanant du "Network Planning Sabena" et envoyé mardi - avant le conseil d'entreprise et la conférence de presse du président de la Sabena Fred Chafart, dans lequel il est annoncé noir sur blanc que les vols moyens-courriers reprendront le 9 novembre et les longs-courriers le 16 novembre, le temps que la DAT obtienne les autorisations nécessaires. Ce fax révèle également que la DAT - comprenne qui pourra - continuerait apparemment à travailler... avec Swissair.
