Belgium political turmoil diary? (none / 1)

I'd love to hear your perception of the current political situation in Belgium (since you've done great diaries on the elections there back in June).

Re: Belgium political turmoil diary? (4.00 / 4)

Well, it's kind of a soap for the moment.
Lots of spectacular tittle's in the press (country is falling apart.....) but I think it will take at least another two weeks before the negotiations will have some result.
The question is how far to the right politics will shift and the linguistic hoopla is only a smokescreen for this.

But soon as there is some light, I'll write a diary.
