Total impasse in Belgian government formation
By EUobserver
After almost one year and three months since the elections, it seems that Belgium is further away than ever from a new government. On Monday the leaders of the two biggest parties, Bart De Wever (NVA) and Paul Magnette (PS) are resigning as so-called pre-formateurs in what is thought to be a final push to find a new government. King Philippe will decide what the next step will be.
