The '''Di Rupo I Government''' is the present [[federal government of Belgium]] which was sworn in on 6 December 2011,<ref>{{nl}} {{cite web|url=http://www.standaard.be/artikel/detail.aspx?artikelid=DMF20111206_064|title=Regering Di Rupo I legt de eed af|date=6 December 2011|accessdate=6 December 2011|work=[[De Standaard]]}}</ref> after long record-breaking [[2010–2011 Belgian government formation|negotiations]] following the [[Belgian general election, 2010|June 2010 elections]]. The government includes socialists ([[Socialistische Partij Anders|sp.a]]/[[Parti Socialiste (Belgium)|PS]]), Christian democrats ([[Christen-Democratisch en Vlaams|CD&V]]/[[Centre démocrate humaniste|cdH]]) and liberals ([[Open Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten|Open Vld]]/[[Mouvement Réformateur|MR]]), respectively of the Dutch and French language groups. The government notably excludes [[New Flemish Alliance|N-VA]], the Flemish nationalist party which achieved a victory and became the largest party.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15978423|title=Belgium close to governing coalition after 18-month gap|publisher=BBC|date=2011-12-01}}</ref> Its absence, together with the unwillingness of Open Vld to enter into an eight-party coalition including the Greens, causes the government coalition to not have a majority in the Dutch language group. It's the first time in Belgian history that the prime minister is of an ethnic minority and also the first time that the prime minister is openly homosexual. Belgium is, by this, the second European country - after Iceland - which has a homosexual prime minister. Apart from this, he is the first French-speaking prime minister since 1979 and the first Walloon prime minister since 1974.▼
