with <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A9on_Delacroix" title="Léon Delacroix">Léon Delacroix</a>.

He succeeded <a href="/wiki/Sophie_Wilm%C3%A8s" title="Sophie Wilmès">Sophie Wilmès</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Belgium&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1790, the <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_Congress_(United_Belgian_States)" title="Sovereign Congress (United Belgian States)">Sovereign Congress of the States of Belgium</a> sat in <a href="/wiki/City_of_Brussels" title="City of Brussels">Brussels</a> and was composed of representatives from each of the eight provinces. <a href="/wiki/Henri_Van_der_Noot" title="Henri Van der Noot">Henri van der Noot</a> served as President of the National Congress, retaining the title of Minister Plenipotentiary having previously held the title Minister Plenipotentiary of Brabant. This title will disappear when Belgium is reconquered by the Austrians. </p><p>Since the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_Revolution" title="Belgian Revolution">independence of Belgium</a> in 1830, governments have been designated with the name of the minister who formed the government as <a href="/wiki/Formateur" title="Formateur">formateur</a>, but that position did not have a specific status. Originally, from 1831 the <a href="/wiki/Monarchy_of_Belgium" title="Monarchy of Belgium">king of the Belgians</a> presided over the Council of Ministers, but when he was absent, the presidency was taken by the <i>chef de cabinet</i> (head of Cabinet), usually the oldest or most influential minister. This position gradually became more prominent, and the minister with this title then soon acquired the competency to present the king with the proposed allocation of the various ministerial departments among the ministers. </p><p>With the expansion of voting rights after <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, more political parties started to win seats in parliament—especially the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_Socialist_Party" title="Belgian Socialist Party">Belgian Socialist Party</a>—and this made it impossible to achieve an absolute majority in parliament. Since then, <a href="/wiki/Coalition_government" title="Coalition government">coalition governments</a> have been necessary, which has made the task of forming a government by the appointed formateur more difficult. Consequently, the formateur increasingly gained greater respect, and much prestige. Thus the formateur became prominent as a position of leadership. As the ministers of the government now represented various political parties, there was a need for someone to coordinate the proceedings of the various ministers. The prime minister was now asserted as the actual head of government, and this is how the office of prime minister came into existence. </p><p>Gradually, the head of Cabinet replaced the king more often during the first half of the twentieth century, and as such gained importance within government. As the Constitution requires the king to exercise his powers through the ministers, the prime minister became reckoned as the country's most important political figure and <i>de facto</i> chief executive. Nevertheless, given his newly acquired prominence, as a member of the Cabinet the head of Cabinet continued to lead a ministerial department. </p><p>The title of <i>Prime Minister</i> or <i><a href="/wiki/Premier" title="Premier">Premier</a></i> was used for the first time in 1918 in official documents and it is at this time that the position was assigned to its own cabinet. Only in 1970 the title was incorporated in the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Belgium" title="Constitution of Belgium">Belgian Constitution</a> with the first <a href="/wiki/State_reform_in_Belgium" title="State reform in Belgium">state reform</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Function">Function</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Belgium&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Function"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Besides coordinating government policies, the prime minister is responsible for the proper execution of the <a href="/wiki/Coalition_agreement" class="mw-redirect" title="Coalition agreement">coalition agreement</a>. The prime minister also presides at meetings of the Council of Ministers and manages conflicts of competencies between the ministers. In addition, the prime minister represents the government coalition in public, both at home and abroad. It is the prime minister who maintains contact with the <a href="/wiki/King_of_the_Belgians" class="mw-redirect" title="King of the Belgians">king</a> and presents the <a href="/wiki/Government_policy_statement" title="Government policy statement">government policy statement</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Belgian_Federal_Parliament" title="Belgian Federal Parliament">Parliament</a>. The prime minister can also ask Parliament for a vote of confidence, which can even lead to the government's resignation in the case of a <a href="/wiki/Constructive_vote_of_no_confidence" title="Constructive vote of no confidence">constructive vote of no confidence</a>. Unless the prime minister resigns because of a personal matter, the whole government resigns with the prime minister's resignation. The prime minister also represents Belgium in the various international organisations, alongside the <a href="/wiki/Minister_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Belgium)" class="mw-redirect" title="Minister of Foreign Affairs (Belgium)">minister of foreign affairs</a>. Due to the <a href="/wiki/State_reform_in_Belgium" title="State reform in Belgium">state reform</a>, the prime minister acquired a number of additional tasks, such as keeping in check the relations between the different <a href="/wiki/Communities,_regions_and_language_areas_of_Belgium" class="mw-redirect" title="Communities, regions and language areas of Belgium">regions and communities</a> of the country, and presiding at the deliberative committee that consists of the governmental representatives of all the <a href="/wiki/Federalism" title="Federalism">federal entities</a>. </p><p>It is expected, though not required, that the prime minister be fluent in both French and Dutch. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Appointment">Appointment</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Belgium&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Appointment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The day after the <a href="/wiki/Elections_of_Belgium#Federal_elections" class="mw-redirect" title="Elections of Belgium">federal elections</a>, the incumbent prime minister offers the resignation of his government to the king. The king then asks the resigning government to continue as a <a href="/wiki/Caretaker_government" title="Caretaker government">caretaker government</a> until a new government is formed. The king then consults a number of prominent politicians in order to ascertain the different possibilities of forming a government. He usually consults the presidents of the <a href="/wiki/Chamber_of_Representatives_(Belgium)" title="Chamber of Representatives (Belgium)">Chamber of Representatives</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Senate_(Belgium)" title="Senate (Belgium)">Senate</a>, the most important political parties, and other people of political and socio-economic importance. After the consultations, the king appoints an <i><a href="/wiki/Informateur" class="mw-redirect" title="Informateur">informateur</a></i> who is in charge of collecting information from the different political parties about their demands for formation of a new government. After these consultations, the <i>informateur</i> reports to the king so that the king can find a suitable <i><a href="/wiki/Formateur" title="Formateur">formateur</a></i>, who is responsible for forming the government. Usually, it is the <i>formateur</i> of the federal government who then becomes prime minister.<sup id="cite_ref-For_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-For-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It usually takes several months of negotiations before the <i>formateur</i> is ready to accept a formal royal invitation to form a government. Per the Constitution, the king's acts are only valid with the countersignature of a minister. For this reason, the outgoing prime minister countersigns the Act of Appointment of the new prime minister, and the new prime minister countersigns the Act of Resignation of the resigning prime minister. The king then appoints the other ministers and secretaries of state of the <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_of_Belgium" class="mw-redirect" title="Cabinet of Belgium">federal government</a>, and their Acts of Appointment are countersigned by the prime minister. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Official_office">Official office</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Prime_Minister_of_Belgium&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Official office"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The official office of the prime minister is located at 16 <a href="/wiki/Rue_de_la_Loi" title="Rue de la Loi">Rue de la Loi</a> (Wetstraat in Dutch, or "Law Street" in translation) among many notable Belgian government and <a href="/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union">European Union</a> buildings in the centre of <a href="/wiki/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a> and around <a href="/wiki/Brussels_Park" title="Brussels Park">Brussels Park</a>.
