Belgian king accepts resignation of Prime Minister De Wever 'under consideration', new talks tomorrow

King Filip of Belgium is considering the resignation of Prime Minister Bart De Wever, who submitted his resignation after failed budget negotiations. The royal palace stated that the King regrets the lack of agreement and will consult with party leaders starting tomorrow. De Wever's resignation follows unsuccessful talks regarding a €10 billion budget cut, which have been ongoing for months. The Prime Minister had set a deadline for a deal earlier this week. After a meeting with the King, he left without making any statements to the press.
