Politics of Belgium
Politics of Belgium takes place in a framework of a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic, constitutional monarchy, whereby the King of the Belgians is the Head of State and the Prime Minister of Belgium is the head of government in a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives. The federation is made up of (cultural/political) communities and (territorial) regions.
Holidays and Festivals
Like most other countries, Belgium observes public holidays and special events with a celebration. There are also a number of local religious festivals in the various towns and cities, mostly observed through processions, parades, and street fairs.
