Abstract

In 2024, Belgium experienced its third consecutive ‘Mother of all elections’. Federal, regional and European elections were held on 9 June and local elections on 13 October. These elections profoundly transformed Belgium's political landscape: the right and center, with Reformist Movement/Mouvement réformateur (MR) and Les Engagés, took the lead in Wallonia, putting an end to Socialist domination. In Flanders, New Flemish Alliance/Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie (N-VA) maintained its position as the leading party despite the rise of Vlaams Belang, while the ecologists suffered a net decline in all regions. In Brussels, the Socialist Party remained in the lead, but the MR made significant gains. This led to the creation of unedited coalitions: the ‘Arizona’ federal government (N-VA, MR, Vooruit, Christian Democratic and Flemish/Christen-Democratisch en Vlaams [CD&V], Les Engagés)—yet not already formed by the end of 2024, the ‘Azur’ coalition in Wallonia (MR–Les Engagés) and a tripartite in Flanders (N-VA, Vooruit, CD&V), reflecting a profound restructuring of federal and regional executive power.

比利时：2024年的政治发展和数据

2024年，比利时经历了连续第三次“全民之母”选举。6月9日举行了联邦、区域和欧洲选举，10月13日举行了地方选举。在佛兰德斯，新佛兰德联盟/新佛兰德斯联盟（N-VA）保持了其领先的地位，尽管佛兰德斯的崛起，而生态学家在所有地区都遭受了净下降。在布鲁塞尔，社会党仍处于领先地位，但MR取得了重大进展。这导致了未经编辑的联盟的创建：“亚利桑那”联邦政府（N-VA， MR, Vooruit，基督教民主党和弗拉芒/基督教民主主义en Vlaams [Les engagines]） -但到2024年底尚未形成，瓦隆尼亚的“蓝色”联盟（MR - Les engagines）和佛兰德斯的三方联盟（N-VA, Vooruit, CD&；V），反映了联邦和地区行政权力的深刻重组。
