On June 13 , 2004 , '''regional Election s''' were held in Belgium , to choose representatives in the regional Council s of Flanders , Wallonia , Brussels and the German Community Of Belgium . The elections were held on the same day as the European Elections . FLEMISH PARLIAMENT In the Flemish Parliament election, the liberal-socialist government was put at a test. The Far Right Party Vlaams Blok became the second largest party in Flanders just after the alliance of conservatives CD&V - N-VA . The green party Groen! managed to be elected and keeps half of their seats in the parliament. In contrast with the previous election, party VU-ID has split and both new parties, N-VA and SPIRIT allied with CD&V and SP.a respectively. Because of the ''cordon sanitaire'' of all other parties against Vlaams Blok , a coalition of at least 3 parties needs to be formed in order to have a majority in the Flemish Parliament. Green party Groen! has confirmed it doesn't want to take part in the new coalition, so the only left is a conservative-socialist-liberal tripartite. In the aftermath of the elections, Yves Leterme (CD&V) was selected to form a Flemish regional government. WALLOON REGIONAL PARLIAMENT In the aftermath of the elections, Elio Di Rupo (PS) was selected to form a Walloon regional government. BRUSSELS REGIONAL PARLIAMENT In the aftermath of the elections, Charles Picqué (PS) was selected to form a Brussels regional government.
