Bart De Wever has officially taken over as Belgium's prime minister following extensive coalition negotiations that lasted seven months. De Wever, a member of the Flemish nationalist N-VA party, emphasizes budget reforms, social policy changes, and stricter migration practices. His government faces challenges regarding gender representation, with only three women on the 15-member team. The coalition includes parties from both Flemish and Walloon regions, highlighting Belgium's complex political landscape and linguistic divisions. De Wever's leadership is seen as a pivotal shift towards a more right-leaning government.
