Following several rounds of negotiations, a coalition government has finally been formed in Belgium, more than seven months after the parliamentary elections held in June 2024. The new government is led by nationalist Bart De Wever, who is set to become the Prime Minister of the country.
The formation of the coalition government comes after months of political deadlock and uncertainty, with various parties trying to reach an agreement on the distribution of ministerial posts and policy priorities. The coalition is made up of several parties, including De Wever’s N-VA (New Flemish Alliance), as well as the liberal MR (Reformist Movement) and Open VLD (Flemish Liberals and Democrats).
De Wever, known for his outspoken nationalist views, has promised to focus on issues such as immigration, security, and national unity. He has also pledged to work towards strengthening Belgium’s position in the European Union and improving the country’s economic prospects.
The new government will face several challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as divisive political issues such as language rights and regional autonomy. However, De Wever has expressed confidence in his ability to lead Belgium through these difficult times and unite the country behind a common vision.
As the new government prepares to take office, there is hope that the coalition will be able to work together to address the pressing issues facing Belgium and move the country forward. With De Wever at the helm, the nationalist-led coalition government is poised to make its mark on Belgian politics and shape the country’s future direction.
