Flanders' regional government

Flanders' regional government is responsible for managing regional policies and services within the Flanders region of Belgium, such as transportation, education, and economic development. It operates separately from the federal government and has its own parliament and ministers. The Flemish Parliament, elected by regional residents, makes laws and decisions specific to Flanders. This setup allows Flanders to address local needs more effectively while coordinating with the national government on broader issues. The regional government ensures regional interests are prioritized and manages policies that directly impact its residents, maintaining a degree of political and administrative autonomy within Belgium’s federal system.
