On 19 June 2017, the {{Color box|orange|border=darkgray}} CDH announced it was no longer willing to govern together with the PS following several scandals in Belgian politics in which high placed members of the PS were involved typically receiving high payments for extra functions, including in Publifin and SAMU Social.{{Cite news|url=https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20170619_02931086|title=CDH wil niet meer regeren met PS|work=De Standaard|language=nl|date=19 June 2017 }} On 25 July the CDH (13 seats) formed a new coalition together with the {{Color box|blue|border=darkgray}} MR (25 seats), only narrowly getting a majority (38 out of 75 seats), to create the first government since 1988 in which the PS was not involved. The number of ministers was reduced from eight to seven.
