Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever remains in office after King Philippe rejected his resignation following budget negotiation failures. The king decided this after receiving commitments from coalition leaders to make concessions for a compromise. The political crisis arose from disagreements over Belgium's 2027 budget and austerity measures aimed at saving around 10 billion euros by 2029. De Wever leads a coalition of five parties with diverse political views. Negotiations stalled last week due to disagreements on tax reforms. The king emphasized the need for a balance between social cohesion and economic growth, with leaders committing to responsible compromise. De Wever will update the king on negotiations on November 16.
