Bart De Wever has officially been inaugurated as Belgium's new prime minister, leading a coalition government resulting from seven months of intricate negotiations, marking a rightward shift in Belgium's politics. This coalition includes various parties from both linguistic regions, with De Wever's N-VA spearheading the agreement following an election that did not yield a clear majority. With a pressing fiscal deficit issue, the new government faces challenges, particularly regarding budget cuts and social reforms, sparking opposition from unions and potentially straining coalition unity.
De Wever had threatened to resign if no coalition agreement was reached, highlighting the high stakes involved in forming a government amid political tensions.
The coalition includes parties from both Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia, reflecting Belgium's complex political landscape amid ongoing concerns about fiscal deficits.
