🇧🇪Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever intends to submit his government’s resignation to the king, De Standaard reports
De Wever has repeatedly opposed the seizure of frozen Russian assets held at the Belgian depository Euroclear. His government blocked the EU’s proposed plan to use them to fund a loan to Ukraine, demanding guarantees that Belgium would not be left alone to bear the financial risks or face Russian lawsuits.
👉De Wever’s government is now on the brink of resignation amid internal disagreements over the budget. Coalition partners have been unable to agree on a package of measures worth €10 billion by 2029. The latest talks continued late into the night, but discussions over spending cuts and higher taxes on wealthy citizens once again reached an impasse.
➡️However, the government’s possible resignation does not necessarily mean an early election: the king could postpone his decision and call on the coalition to continue negotiations.
