The De Croo I Cabinet had to deal in 2022 with major issues related to international (war in Ukraine), European (energy supply) and national (inflation, social crisis and community problems) issues events. Given the coalition of parties that support the government, the policies developed by the government have sometimes taken a long time to be negotiated, decided, and implemented. In addition, the composition of the government had to be changed for various reasons, among others the vigorous opposition of the two main parties in Parliament (VB—Vlaams Belang—and N-VA—Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie).
