Belgium's king appointed Bart De Wever, the president of the Flemish-nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), to explore coalition possibilities. In a surprise result, De Wever's N-VA beat the far-right Vlaams Belang party in the EU elections last week, which means it remains Belgium's biggest political party. King Philippe met with De Wever on Wednesday afternoon who instructed him to "identify parties wishing to quickly form a stable coalition at the federal level." He will report back to the king in a week's time, on June 19th. Flemish nationalist parties dominated the elections as Prime Mi...
