The Homans Government (Regering-Homans) was the interim Flemish Government formed and sworn in on 2 July 2019, following the departure of Flemish Minister-President Geert Bourgeois who took up his seat in the European Parliament following the 2019 European Parliament election in Belgium. It was replaced by the Jambon Government on 2 October 2019.
With Bourgeois leaving and no new coalition agreement yet having been found following the 2019 Belgian regional elections, the interim Homans government was formed as a continuation of the Bourgeois Government, consisting of the same centre-right coalition of the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), the Christian Democratic and Flemish party (CD&V) and the Open Flemish Liberals and Democrats (Open Vld), but now led by Liesbeth Homans, who became the first female minister-president of Flanders.
The cabinet had a small majority in the Flemish Parliament as they dropped from 89 to 70 seats since the previous election, needing 63 for a majority. The main opposition parties were far-right Vlaams Belang (VB), the Green party and the Socialist Party (sp.a).
On 30 September 2019, the three parties announced that they had come to a new coalition agreement to form a new government which would start governing from 2 October 2019, thereby replacing the interim Homans Government.
