erman Van Rompuy is a practising Catholic who belongs to the conservative wing of the Flemish Christian Democrat party. He prefers the Beatles to the Stones.

Not long after Herman Van Rompuy unexpectedly became prime minister of Belgium late last year, he went on a skiing holiday to Austria – by overnight coach.
