The king said "no" and ordered the government to reach an agreement within 10 days

King Philippe of Belgium has been informed about the resignation of Bart De Wever following failed budget negotiations. The coalition leaders assured the king of their willingness to compromise to reach an agreement. Belgium needs to find 10 billion euros in savings to meet EU requirements, as the public deficit is projected to exceed limits. The coalition has until November 16 to reach a consensus, although it remains uncertain if this will be the final deadline. The Prime Minister aims to avoid a temporary budget situation, recalling previous extensions granted by the king.
