New Belgian government sworn in
Van Rompuy, left, was sworn in as Belgium's new prime minister by King Albert
II [AFP] Herman Van Rompuy, a Flemish Christian Democrat, has been sworn in as
Belgium's prime minister, to head a revived five-party coalition.
King Albert II swore the new government into office at a ceremony at the royal
palace on Tuesday.
Van Rompuy replaces his fellow party member Yves Leterme, who resigned on
December 19 over allegations of political meddling in the bailout of the
stricken bank Fortis.The five parties that had made up Leterme's government
renewed their coalition
after a meeting on Tuesday.
The new government faces a parliamentary vote of confidence on Friday.
'Good formula'
Van Rompuy was expected to take over his predecessor' s plan for battling a
looming recession caused by the global financial crisis.
He will also have to handle the strained relations between Flanders, Belgium's
richer, more populous Dutch-speaking region, and its Francophone area.
"Nothing is simple in our country, but what is important is that we have a
government to lead with seriousness, stability and serenity," said Elio di
Rupo, the leader of the Francophone Socialist party.
Van Rompuy will be the third prime minister since general elections in June
2007 in the linguistically divided country that is host to the main European
Union institutions and to Nato.
Budgetary hardliner
Belgium is expected to have slipped into recession in the fourth quarter and
large banks have received bailouts. Fighting the economic downturn will be
Reynders' main challenge.
Van Rompuy, 61, has the reputation of being both an intellectual and a
budgetary hardliner.
He was budget minister from 1993 to 1999 and sharply reduced public debt in his
first year in office.
His other task will be to sort out the Fortis debacle.
The bank's shareholders won an appeal court ruling this month, freezing the
group's break-up by the Dutch, Luxembourg and Belgian governments and the
latter's sale of Fortis assets to BNP Paribas.
Leterme's government had planned a $2.87bn package of measures to boost growth,
including tax cuts, lower energy costs and accelerated infrastructure projects.
That government collapsed after the supreme court said there were clear
indications of political meddling in a court ruling over the bailout of Fortis.
Belgium's coalition comprises of the Flemish Christian Democrat party, the
Flemish Liberal party, the Francophone Liberal party, the Francophone Christian
Democrats and the Francophone Socialist party.
