Vivaldi coalition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), composer of The Four Seasons.

The Vivaldi coalition (Dutch: Vivaldicoalitie; French: la coalition Vivaldi) is a neologism[1] in Belgian politics describing a governing coalition among the parties of the liberals, social democrats, greens and Christian democrats.

Details

[edit]

The coalition is named after the Italian violinist and composer Antonio Vivaldi and references his work The Four Seasons, due to the colors of the political ideologies within the coalition:

The term was first introduced by the newspaper La Libre Belgique in December 2019, during the 2019–2020 Belgian government formation.[2] The first government from that combination was ultimately the De Croo Government.
