    Belgium (2014 – published 2015) Benoît Rihoux1, Audrey Vandeleene1, Lieven De Winter1, Pierre Baudewyns1, Serge Deruette2 1 Centre de Science Politique et de Politique Comparée (CESPOL), Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium; 2Université de Mons, Belgium INTRODUCTION The year 2014 was particularly dense, with simultaneous regional, parliamentary and European Parliament elections on 25 May. This was followed by a relatively short government formation process towards an unprecedented ‘Swedish’ federal cabinet. The electoral cycle took place in the context of a still quite difficult socioeconomic situation and ethnolinguistic tensions at the elite level. ELECTION REPORT Regional Elections: 25 May 2014 Most parties did not present a separate regional and federal manifesto (De Winter and Van Wynsberghe forthcoming), therefore blurring regional and federal issues. Remarkably, following the electoral results at the regional level (Blaise et al. 2014b), the regional government formations brought regionalist parties in power in three of the five regional/community governments. In Flanders, the N-VA became the predominant party in the Flemish region, replacing the CD&V, and thus legitimately claimed the leadership of the formation of the Flemish executive, which resulted in the formation of the Bourgeois I government with the N-VA, the CD&V and the Open VLD. At the Walloon elections, of the three incumbent coalition parties (PS, CdH and Ecolo) only the latter lost heavily, with the fourth traditional party (MR) regaining some ground, as well as the newcomers PTB and PP. The new Walloon government was formed as a left-centre coalition of the PS and CdH, under the leadership of P. Magnette (PS), while the executive of the Francophone community government was headed by the incumbent R.

Changes in Parliament Shortly after the federal elections, two Senators of the N-VA were replaced by another member of their party. K. Geybels was expelled from her party after her name was cited in a drugs abuse scandal in Thailand, and Ph. Muyters joined the Flemish regional cabinet as Minister of Finance and Budget (as well as other portfolios) and thus had to resign from the Senate. At the same time, some of the candidates elected on 13 June chose not to sit in the federal parliament in order to continue sitting in one of the regional parliaments. For instance, B. De Wever (N-VA chairman) and Ph. Dewinter (VB) preferred to keep their seat in the Flemish parliament. M. Prévot (CDH) also chose to keep his seat in the Walloon parliament. Election and cabinet report The first few months of the year were marked by a continued lack of substan- tive progress in the institutional negotiations between the Flemish and French- speaking parties – a continuation of the situation that has prevailed ever since 2007 (see Rihoux et al.

Straddling the residential, commercial, mixed-use and hospitality sectors, we continuously strive to produce a well-balanced portfolio that is geared towards consistent income-generating annuity assets. Our strategy is centered on keeping our portfolio optimized, by aligning it with market and stakeholder demand, while being focused on long-term value creation. We have invested wisely in a well-proportioned development pipeline that adds further diversity to our portfolio, and enables us to capitalize on future market opportunities in a thoughtful and risk-mitigated way. By diversifying into the healthcare and education-based assets, PPPs and other well studied opportunities, we aim to further insulate ourselves from economic-cycle swings. By adding mid-to-high residential units to our portfolio, we aim to strengthen our holdings of annuity income-generating assets and further bolster our ability to produce free cash-flows. To enable a more sustainable payback from our new freehold positions taken in emerging areas such as Lusail, we aim to add the “built-to-sell” model as part of a judicious portfolio mix that yields appreciable returns. With efficient capital allocation, well- conceived projects, operational excellence and efficient corporate structures, we are on the path to strengthening our position as a multi asset-class realty major.

The final months of the cabinet Dehaene II A. The budgetary results for 1998 and the contra! of the 1999-budget OnJanuary 6th, the Minister for the Budget Herman Van Rompuy announced that the overall public deficit for 1998 had dropped to € 2,93 billion, equalling 1,3 % of GDP Accordingly, the debt to GDP ratio had dropped to 116,5 %, which was 5 percent points less than in 1997, and 2 percent points less than officially estimated. This budgetary result was the best in many years time. On March 12th, the council of ministers confirmed the budgetary adjustments that had been proposed by the core cabinet. The most important aspect of this adjustment was the € 248 million the cabinet had cleared for what the press called "electoral sweets": among others, the social costs per employee were reduced from April 1st onwards (instead of from July 1st onwards), the pensions were raised by 0,5 percent and the unemployment benefit for singles was raised as well. B. The implementation of the so-called Octopus agreements (24 May 1998) By the end of 1998, most of the regulations of the Octopus agreements of 24 May 1998 on the reform of the judiciary and the police forces, had been convert­ ed into various laws. However, there were still aspects of the statu te of the 'inte­ grated police forces' that had to be settled: in particular the rules on disciplinary sanctions, on trade unions, on personnel, and on pensions.
