Belgium swears in Tindemans government after crisis

In Brussels King Baudouin presided over the swearing in of the new coalition government led by Prime Minister Leo Tindemans after a 24 hour crisis caused by four ministers from the French-speaking wing of the Social Christian Party failing to attend. The four said their group was underrepresented in policy making, prompting Tindemans to offer resignation to salvage the coalition. The king urged forgetting the incident and noted it did not benefit the institutions. The cabinet shares remain, with French-speaking ministers to be involved in key issues like inflation and devolution. The government formation follows a seven week process after the April 17 election.
