Belgian Prime Minister using Drupal

Prime minister belgium
Today, a new Belgian government has been sworn in, ending a political deadlock of nine months. With our new government comes a new Prime Minister, and with our new Prime Minister comes a new website. It's not quite the same as the constitutional reform that was promised many months ago, but at least the Prime Minister's official website is using Drupal: http://premier.be. Snickers.

This is the first time that I'm not that pleased to see someone use Drupal.

I'd say: leave Drupal for what is, go for the constitutional reform! :-)

Great for Drupal though!

That is great news and the i18n features of Drupal fit Belgium. I hope though that building this website was a bit faster then forming the new goverment. :-) Looks like Belgium is due for some change. Way to go Drupal and I hope that some of that Drupal love is leaking towards the Netherlands as well. We need that since "Belgen doen het beter".

The government will probably end in July. The Drupal site will NOT. Drupal is firm and steady!

It must be pretty awesome to see your creation adopted at the highest levels of your country's government. Good stuff :)

I just discovered Drupal a few days ago for a web site project in the USA. I'm not a professional programmer but an 'amateur' (quite a few years older than you are!). I thougth it was one of the neatest software packages I've ever seen. So easy to use!

Now that I learned it's made by a Belgian I'm so proud of my country!. I actually saw the 'invest.belgium.be' site earlier and I thought it was very cool.

Good stuff guys !! Keep going !!
