Belgium - budget clears way for new government


Published on Nov 26, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ In Belgium the political stalemate is set to end with Elio di Rupo likely to become the next prime minister after the King asked the French speaking socialist leader to form a new government.

The move comes after the political parties reached a deal on the 2012 budget in which Belgium would reduce its deficit to 2.8 percent of gross domestic product.

The agreement cleared the last major obstacle to the formation of an new government more than 18 months after elections were held.
