Possible resignation: Belgian Prime Minister apparently threatens with resignation
The Belgian coalition is arguing over a austerity plan to ease the burden on the budget. According to a report, Prime Minister Bart De Wever will be submitting his resignation today.
Belgium is heading towards a government crisis, according to a report in the Belgian newspaper "De Tijd". Prime Minister Bart De Wever is expected to resign after failing to reach an agreement on the 2027 budget, with disagreements over 10 billion euros in spending cuts and tax increases. De Wever's coalition partners are at odds over cuts to healthcare spending and increases to wealth taxes. He plans to meet with King Philippe, who is unlikely to immediately accept the resignation.
