Belgian Prime Minister Offers Resignation After Coalition Budget Disagreement
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever offered his resignation after his five-party coalition failed to agree on measures to address a 10 billion euro budget gap. The dispute involved disagreements over taxation and spending cuts, particularly between the Flemish socialist Forward party and the Francophone Reformist Movement. King Philippe has not yet decided whether to accept the resignation and is consulting political leaders before making a decision. The government faces pressure to finalize the 2027 budget by the end of the year.
