Belgium has sworn in a new prime minister, Bart De Wever, who has long been associated with advocating for the breakup of the nation and granting more autonomy to Flanders. In a symbolic gesture, De Wever took the oath of allegiance to King Philippe, marking a shift from his previous stance against Belgian unity.
The new government aims to strike a balance between Dutch-speaking Flanders, francophone Wallonia, and multilingual Brussels. The cabinet members took their oaths in both Dutch and French, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the country.
