No breakthrough in the negotiations: Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever submits his resignation to the king

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever is set to resign after budget negotiations failed, risking new elections. The government has been unable to reach a compromise on saving ten billion euros by 2029. If the king accepts De Wever's resignation, it could lead to new elections. The negotiations have been ongoing for two months, with disagreements among the five parties involved. Vice Prime Minister David Clarinval pointed to the center-left party Vooruit as a key obstacle, while others suggested the discussions were broader than just one party.
