The De Wever government is the incumbent federal government of Belgium after the 2024 Belgian federal election. On 31 January 2025, a final agreement was reached between N-VA, CD&V, Vooruit, MR and Les Engagés to form a so-called "Arizona coalition", named after the colours of the Arizona state flag. The new government is led by Bart de Wever, who is the first Flemish-Nationalist Prime Minister of Belgium.[1] The ministers were sworn in before King Philippe on the third of February.
