Flemish nationalist parties dominated general elections in Belgium on Sunday as Prime Minister Alexander De Croo’s liberal party took a hit, with difficult coalition talks to form a new government now looming.
Despite polls predicting that the far-right, anti-immigration Vlaams Belang party would become the main political force in the country with 11.5 million inhabitants, the right-wing nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) retained its first spot, with an expected 22% of the votes, according to provisional results provided by the Interior ministry.
