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.

    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.
