context_page_description: Following the simultaneous federal elections and regional elections of 26 May 2019, negotiations started to form a new Federal Government as well as new regional governments: a Flemish, Walloon, French Community, German Community and Brussels Government.
  As the results of the elections had shown again the big difference in voting preference between Wallonia and Flanders, it quickly became apparent that forming a new Federal Government would not be easy. While the Government of the German-speaking Community was formed only a few days after the elections and the Brussels Government was formed one month later, the other regional governments were only formed after the summer, in September and October 2019.
  At the federal level, the deadlock was never resolved, but nevertheless, a new government was formed in March 2020. Its mission is only to fight against the coronavirus, as several of the opposing parties agreed to support a new Wilmès II Government identical to the current caretaker Wilmès I Government to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium, de-facto ending the search for a new government. The new government was given special powers to deal with the COVID-19 crisis.
