Charles Michel’s name is emerging as Belgium’s potential next foreign minister, two Belgian officials told POLITICO, confirming a report from local newspaper De Tijd, Ednews informs.
Michel’s party, the francophone liberal Reformist Movement, was the big election winner in Francophone Belgium. It’s on track to get several powerful portfolios in the next government, and it traditionally claims the foreign ministry.
Michel would make sense given his experience as a former prime minister and European Council president, the officials indicated.
“It’s too soon to call, but it’s not unrealistic,” one of them said.
