Ghent - The N-VA, the New Flemish Alliance, Bart de Wever has the impressive Sunday issuu (state) won parliamentary elections in Belgium: more than 32% of the votes. It's almost as many years ago that a Flemish party, such a monster issuu score - took - and even more. But now? Bart de Wever swapped his Antwerp mayor room for the office of the Prime Minister to the Rue de la Loi in Brussels? And who should / should / can he govern? As yet, the N-VA is the largest party, but at the same time has the least power.
The still incumbent Belgian Government led by Prime Minister Elio di Rupo, a Walloon socialist, came about after a record-formation period of 541 days. Only then locks the Walloon issuu and Flemish Christian Democrats, Socialists and Liberals a coalition. A classic tripartite government that subsequently received issuu more approval than disapproval. Hence some Walloons already assume a government Di Rupo II. But that is still a long way off. Nobody believes it will take before a new government is 541 days but again that rural formation no piece of cake is going to be sure.

In his home city of Antwerp, the N-VA was even more than 40% of the votes. And Bart de Wever collected more than 341,000 preference votes. But what do you do? Because the nightmare is that he is not a decisive fist can make all future coalition talks. Those broad grassroots Because he booked his profit at the expense of two right-wing Flemish parties, particularly the Vlaams Blok Filip Dewinter that is virtually ostracized. The Christian Democrats, Socialists and Liberals remained almost constant, and therefore hold a finger in the Flemish coalitiepap. "We do not want a long political crisis," Weaver promised in his victory speech, but he is dependent on the willingness of others. issuu
At the national level, he can forget that. Once were Elio di Rupo and Bart de Wever political friends who seemed to have enough. Half a word Past, and given the results in Wallonia Di Rupo has no further interest in Weaver to sit down to craft. Together a cabinet together at the table The Walloons remain Weaver massive issuu distrust because issuu of his separatist views. Conqueror Bart de Wever is in his stomach with the large following. At the national level, he can power the number is not in use and Flanders, he is forced to work. Together with at least one of the three traditional parties That would not be a problem, if the party programs at crucial points not far diverged. Nationally, the puzzle more complicated.
