The Belgian Prime Minister, Michel will be standing at the head of a minority government. The right-wing party N-VA was dropped out in a dispute over the UN-migration Pact of the coalition.
Brussels witnessed a turbulent political days: the crisis meetings of Cabinet, the press conferences of the night, always special broadcasts on Radio and TV.
It is a crisis that has it, because of the dispute over the migration Pact of the United Nations has blasted the government. The right-wing Flemish regional party N-VA rejected the legally non-binding Treaty categorically.
The three other Alliance partners want to him in writing. The vast majority in the Belgian Parliament. The coalition breakage was not entirely avoid the obvious. The N-VA’s voluntary? Or Prime Minister, Charles Michel, has thrown the Flemish nationalists? Jan Jambon, in the meantime, Ex-Minister of the N-VA, told the Belgian radio: “The matter is too serious to make any game. I think, formally, we are pulling out of the government. This is the correct formulation, because we have said that If the government is going to Marrakech, then this is what happens without us.”
Exactly it will come. Prime Minister Michel wants to make the trip to Marrakech as planned, and the UN conference on the migration Pact signed. He throws the N-VA, the agreement for a long time supported, but the common attitude in General. “I’m leaving as head of the Belgian government and as a representative of an orange-blue coalition, which is responsible.”
Orange and Blue – the colours of the liberals and the Christian Democrats. With Michel wants to rule more than the head of a minority government, which is looking from case to case, the support of the opposition parties. The Green is not close, even if you reject the current budget plans as antisocial. “We will not fix Goldenbahis this government, we will not block the country also, but we want to engage,” says Faction leader Kristof Calvo.
