The fifteen members of Belgium’s new federal coalition government took their oath of office in the presence of Filip, King of Belgians, this morning. They swore loyalty to the king and to obey the constitution and Belgium’s laws. The pictures brought a smile to the face of many a Belgian as PM De Wever forgot protocol and had to be told to stay beside the king after taking the oath. Work minister Clarinval too was confused failing to return to his spot, initially.
