Belgian Prime Minister resigns!
 Bart De Wever

Belgian Prime Minister  Bart De Wever has officially resigned from his post today. 

According to Euronews, De Wever was at the royal palace this morning to offer his government's resignation to King Philippe, following the failure of budget talks overnight.

This comes after overnight negotiations with his top cabinet on the budget failed to reach an agreement. 

De Wever left the palace after a meeting with King Philippe for about 1.5 hours without addressing the press. The King is expected to make an official announcement on the conclusion of the meeting. 

According to Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot, there were "many sticking points."  

"If I were to list all the sticking points, it would take me forever," he told Belgian media. 

The budget deficit reached 5% last year, while a maximum deficit of 3% is allowed under European rules. Belgian national debt amounts to over 735 billion euros, more than 110% of Belgium's GDP, while 60% is allowed. Due to the failure to reach an agreement, interest rates on government bonds have increased and Belgium must pay more to meet its debt obligations. 

If the King accepts his resignation, new elections will be called. The King can also reject or consider the resignation. 

The coalition government in Belgium consists of De Wever's conservative N-VA party, the liberal MR, the centrist Les Engagés, the socialist Vooruit and the Christian democrats CD&V. The agreement between the so-called "Arizona" parties was reached after 234 days of impressive negotiations. 

Sunday's budget talks showed that disagreements continued between the N-VA and MR on one side of the coalition and Vooruit, CD&V and Les Engagés on the other. The center and socialist parties want 1 billion to 1.5 billion euros to come from higher income taxes, while the conservatives want to limit spending. 

Deputy Prime Minister David Clarinval blamed the Socialist Vooruit for the failure of the talks, as they insisted on their stance on higher taxes. 

Matti Vandemaele of the opposition Groen party said that “ Prime Minister De Wever is not managing to convince his government to follow the same line unless everyone follows his NV A program.” 

“De Wever likes to present himself as the man of big deals, but in practice he is mainly a prime minister of stagnation. The fact that we risk returning to the provisional twelve for the second year in a row is a complete humiliation for a sitting prime minister.” 

This is not the first time that the Arizona coalition has faced internal tensions in budget negotiations. Last year, De Wever also turned to the king after unsuccessful talks on how to save 10 billion euros. 

In early November 2025, De Wever did not offer his resignation, but asked the king to extend the deadline, taking an additional 50 days to reach an agreement.
