Belgium in search of new government after general elections
Brussels, June 10 (Hibya) – Belgium is moving towards a new government after general elections in which the expected rise of the far-right party Vlaams Belang failed to materialize, and the ruling coalition led by liberal prime minister Alexander De Croo lost the ability to form a majority.
Vlaams Belang's arch-rival nationalist party N-VA (New Flemish Alliance) remained the largest party in the Belgian parliament on Sunday. In contrast, De Croo's liberal party, Open VLD, suffered a decline in the country's Dutch-speaking region of Flanders.
"Our obituaries have been written, but we won these elections," said N-VA leader Bart De Wever, who looks like a good bet to become Belgium's next prime minister.
De Croo will remain interim prime minister until a new coalition, which currently includes seven parties, is formed. According to protocol, he will resign to King Philippe of Belgium at the royal palace in Brussels on Monday.
