The
sixth state reform in the federal kingdom of
Belgium is the result after the
2010–2011 Belgian government formation, with 541 days of negotiations the longest ever in Belgium and possibly the world. The agreement was made among the Christian-democratic
CD&V and
cdH, social-democratic
sp.a and
PS, liberal
Open Vld and
MR and ecologist
Groen! and
Ecolo, each respectively a Flemish and French-speaking party. The first six parties, therefore not including the green parties, then formed the
Di Rupo I Government. The Flemish nationalist party
N-VA, which became the largest after the
2010 elections, is notably not part of the agreement nor of the government coalition.
