La seule façon de financer l’allocation universelle, c’est d’éliminer la Sécurité sociale existante, ce qui impliquerait une régression sociale énorme, parce qu’on remplacerait un système d’allocations sociales qui est conditionnel, focalisé sur les besoins des personnes, progressif, par un système inconditionnel. C’est ridicule. Ça ne réussira jamais.

Unable to verify the source URL directly: http://www.lesoir.be/120176/article/2017-10-19/lallocation-universelle-une-regression-sociale is blocked from WebFetch ("Claude Code is unable to fetch from www.lesoir.be").
Other checks:
- Author attribution: Plausible. Marc de Vos is a known critic of UBI; he co-authored "Contre l'allocation universelle" (Montreal, Lux, 2016) and has written on the topic, so the argument (that financing UBI would require dismantling conditional social security and thus constitute a social regression) is consistent with his documented position.
- Vote alignment: Correct. The quote clearly opposes UBI and the associated vote on "Implement a universal basic income" is "against".
- Year: 2017. Web search did not surface a more recent (2025/2026) Marc de Vos quote on UBI to substitute.
- Relevancy: Quote is directly about the statement's topic (financing/feasibility of UBI).
Marking ai_unverifiable because the primary source host (lesoir.be) blocks WebFetch and no alternative mirror of the Le Soir article was found in search.
