| Description | Belgium's caretaker prime minister reached agreement on Wednesday on forming an interim coalition government, providing a temporary solution to a political crisis after an election six months ago. The linguistically divided country, home to the European Union and NATO, has been without a new government for a record 192 days, sparking speculation that the 177-year-old state could split into Dutch- and French-speaking regions.
Thousands of Belgian trade union members marched on Saturday in protest against the failure of politicians to form a government. |
