Timeline

1975

Freya Van den Bossche (born 26 March 1975) is a Belgian (Flemish) politician and daughter of prominent former Belgian politician Luc Van Den Bossche.

She is member of the SP.a political party, and she was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget and Consumer Protection in the Belgian federal government.

She was the youngest ever minister appointed in Belgium.

Freya Van den Bossche followed her secondary education at the Royal Atheneum Voskenslaan in Ghent.

1993

She studied law from 1993 to 1995 at the University of Ghent, but did not obtain a degree, and ultimately graduated from the University of Ghent with a master's degree in Communication Sciences in 1999.

1996

From 1996 to 1997, she studied at the University of Amsterdam as part of an exchange programme.

1999

From 1999 to 2000, she found employment as an Attachée, responsible for communication and drug-related problems, of the then Mayer of Ghent Frank Beke.

Freya first came to national attention in Belgium in a televised debating competition between candidates in a municipal election who were the children of well-known politicians.

She performed strongly in the debate and was considered by many to be very attractive and articulate.

In addition, during the campaign her election advertising included a postcard of a black and white photograph that included her long bare legs that was quite revealing, showing a black slip.

2000

Partly as a result of these profile building exercises, Freya polled well and was elected in that municipal poll in 2000.

2003

She was quickly promoted and was put on her Social Democrat Party's list in East Flanders for the federal parliament in 2003, attracting 105,000 votes.

On 12 July 2003, she was appointed the youngest minister in Belgium's history appointed aged 28 as Minister of Environment, Consumer Affairs and Sustainable Development in Government Verhofstadt II.

''But by the time she ran for national parliament as a Flemish Socialist (SP.A) candidate in 2003, the law required that both sexes be represented in the top three slots on every party list – so her name was placed in a vote-getting position no novice male would have enjoyed.

And part of her popularity, it must be said, has to do with her bright blue eyes and throaty voice.

Van den Bossche regularly pops up on "sexiest Belgians" lists.

"Some people assume I'm here because of my looks or because of parity laws," she says.

"My job is to prove them wrong. Maybe these factors have helped, but I hope that in four years, people will be talking about my policies."''

2004

In July 2004, she became responsible for Work and Consumer Affairs.

2005

After the departure of Johan Vande Lanotte in October 2005, she was again promoted, this time to become the nation's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget and Consumer Affairs.

Van den Bossche has two daughters, Ariane (born 1999) and Billie (born on 30 June 2005), and one son, Moses (born on 29 November 2009).

2006

In 2006, while she was vice-premier in the federal government, Knack, a prominent Flemish magazine in Belgium alleged that she had not written the obligatory thesis for her master's degree herself.

Rather, due to the complexity of the thesis she submitted, Knack journalist alleged that the thesis had actually been written by, also a former Knack journalist and a friend of Freya Van den Bossche's father, the prominent socialist politician, Luc Van Den Bossche.

Knack posted a version of her thesis online, but offered no other proof.

Freya Van den Bossche subsequently submitted a criminal complaint against Koen Meulenaere for slander and defamation.

In response to a question posed by the Flemish newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws on whether she did in fact write her thesis, Ms. Van den Bossche replied: "Would that make a difference? I can show you my notes because I have nothing to hide".

Knack ultimately removed the thesis from its website and ceased coverage of the matter.

On 29 December 2006, Van den Bossche married Dennis Van de Weghe from Ghent, one of her former cabinet colleagues.

The marriage did not last long, with the couple separating shortly after.

She also has a son with Willem Wallyn.

2008

She lost that position in 2008, when the government fell.

In a recent poll she was rated as the seventh most popular politician in Belgium.

A Spanish newspaper included her in an internet poll of the world's most beautiful female politicians.

Time magazine wrote about her:
