Brussels (17 December 2007) - Belgium's outgoing Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt has agreed to King Albert's request to form an interim government. The king wants the prime minister to address the most urgent issues, including negotiations on important institutional reforms. Belgium is divided into French-speaking Wallonia in the south and Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north. Parliamentary elections were held in Belgium on 10 June, but so far no coalition has been formed because the French-language and Dutch-language parties have been unable to reach agreement. Mr Verhofstadt has suggested forming a government, consisting of a Christian Democratic-Labour bloc representing the Walloon provinces and a conservative-Christian Democratic bloc representing Flanders.
Ping
What’s the current government? Isn’t the old government already serving as an interim government?
Free Flanders!
Here’s hoping that Flanders and Kosovo declare independence from Brussels on the same day!
They have no current government, the last one served it’s time and until elections it ca serve, after that there is no official government. So no policies are made until they form a new one.
