The far-left party PVDA is the first party that is sure it will not be included in the formation of the new Flemish government, said N-VA's Bart De Wever.
De Wever, as the party leader of Flanders' biggest party after the elections (24.8% of votes), is tasked with forming the new Flemish government.
After the first consultation with PVDA party leader Peter Mertens last week Monday, there will not be a second one, De Wever said.
"We are not surprised," the PVDA said. De Wever began the consultations with the leaders of other parties to form a new Flemish government last week, starting with the party that received the least votes in the elections (PVDA, with 5.3%), working his way up to the party that, after N-VA, received the most votes (Vlaams Belang, with 18.5%).
