Bart De Wever, Belgium's new Prime Minister, has shifted his stance from advocating Flemish independence to seeking a renewed political balance between the Dutch-speaking Flanders and the francophone Wallonia. During his oath-taking ceremony, he emphasized cooperation as essential for achieving goals for one's community, reflecting on the historical division shaped by language. His government is committed to addressing economic and social policies, stricter migration rules, and budgetary reforms, marking a significant political change in Belgium's governance, especially following the long caretaker term of Alexander De Croo.
When you don't take part, you are certainly left emptyhanded, he added.
De Wever will join his fellow European Union leaders at a summit in Brussels later Monday.
