Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has told King Philippe he intends to leave his post because of the failure to reach agreement on the state budget.
Globalinfo.az reports that the press service of the Belgian Royal Palace released the information.
It said the monarch has for now postponed a decision on the prime minister’s resignation:
“Instead, it has been decided to begin consultations with the leaders of the political parties represented in the coalition majority. The failure to reach agreement on a sustainable budget capable of meeting the country’s current challenges is regrettable.”
At the same time, it was stressed that in the current circumstances of growing geopolitical uncertainty and economic difficulties, it is undesirable for Belgium to face a long-term political crisis.
