In a move that hasn’t been seen in Belgium since the 1970s, the federal
government’s largest party, N-VA (New Flemish Alliance), has switched to the opposition.
Previously sitting in the majority with Open VLD, CD&V and the
French-speaking MR, N-VA will now join the other parties in the opposition, creating a ruling minority coalition.With a federal election due anyway in late Might, many observers see no fast want for an early vote.
PM Michel informed a information convention along with his remaining ministers that the federal government would focus within the remaining months on the financial system, defending Belgium‘s pursuits forward of Brexit, safety and local weather change. The minority authorities, with simply 52 of 150 seats, might proceed, with out saying which different events he noticed as potential allies.
The N-VA’s exit left Michel with three ministerial posts to fill, together with portfolios, akin to immigration, held by N-VA’s two state secretaries.
Bart De Wever, whose negotiations to form a new city council were interrupted last week by the federal government crisis, called the situation “unfortunate”. De Wever is mayor of Antwerp and the president of N-VA. “We have always said that will not support a government that supports this pact,” he said at a press conference on Saturday evening. “Charles Michel will take off from Belgium tomorrow as the prime minister of the Swedish coalition, but he will land in Morocco as the prime minister of the Marrakesh coalition. We are, as a party, not against migrants or migration, but we are against migration chaos. We cannot accept this pact.”
