Why Belgium’s prime minister isn’t cheering on the Red Devils
Belgium's political divisions, including linguistic and regional splits between Flanders and Wallonia, have led to a fragmented government formation process. Prime Minister Bart De Wever, from the Flemish nationalist party N-VA, has shown little public support for Belgium's national soccer team, the Red Devils, likely due to his political stance on Flemish autonomy and personal disinterest in the sport.
