After over seven months of difficult negotiations, Belgium has successfully formed a new government with a coalition of five parties. Bart De Wever, the leader of the Flemish nationalist party N-VA, will take on the role of prime minister. Following his swearing-in by King Philippe, De Wever conveyed the gravity of the moment with a Latin phrase, 'Alea iacta est,' indicating that the decision is final. Additionally, amidst this political shift, EU leaders are set to address challenges posed by international trade tensions, notably from the US.
After more than seven months of tortuous negotiations, we are going to get a new Belgian government today, after five parties struck a coalition deal on Friday.
Bart De Wever, channeling Julius Caesar, posted the Latin message Alea iacta est! while shaking hands with Belgium's King Philippe, marking a new era in Belgium's governance.
