Country reports

Belgium has a new government

by Dr. Beatrice Gorawantschy, Meike Lenzner

A colourful coalition after 234 days of negotiations

“Alea iacta est - the die is cast” - announced Bart De Wever, the leader of the Flemish Nationalists (N-VA) and Belgium's new Prime Minister, on 31 January late in the evening on the platform X. The new government was thus sealed after months of tough negotiations. The former “Vivaldi” government was replaced by the “Arizona” coalition - named after the colours of the parties that make up the coalition. This is the first time in Belgium's history that a N-VA politician has taken on government responsibility, but in view of the coalition's composition, a dramatic shift to the right is not to be expected. The challenges for the new government are great.
