Summary
Belgium’s right-wing New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) leader Bart De Wever will lead a five-party coalition government, marking the first time a nationalist will hold the position of prime minister.
The coalition, which excludes the far-right Vlaams Belang party, holds an 81-seat majority in Belgium’s 150-seat parliament.
What messages have these parties been campaigning on?
Privatizing public health care. Changing our federal structure to confederalism. No more money transfers to the poorer southern region, which also happens to speak a different language. Identity politics.
I know nothing about the internal workings of Belgium but those all sound like awful policies.
