Möglicher Rücktritt: Belgischer Ministerpräsident droht offenbar mit Rücktritt
Die belgische Koalitionen streitet über einen Sparplan, um den Haushalt zu entlasten. Ministerpräsident Bart De Wever will laut einem Bericht heute seinen Rücktritt einreichen.
Amsterdam - Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever may be on the verge of resigning, according to a newspaper report. The crisis stems from the ongoing struggle to finalize the 2027 state budget, as detailed by the Belgian newspaper "De Tijd". On Monday morning, De Wever reportedly failed to reach an agreement on the budget dispute, leading to the possibility of his resignation. He is expected to meet King Philippe later in the day, but sources suggest the monarch may not accept the resignation immediately.
De Wever's coalition is at odds over proposed budget cuts and tax increases totaling ten billion euros. The Flemish nationalist N-VA party and the liberal MR party advocate for reductions in healthcare spending, while socialist and centrist coalition partners demand higher wealth taxes. De Wever has warned of a potential debt and interest spiral that could force the government to take on new loans to service existing debt payments.
