2 for 12: Walloon Unions call national strikes if Di Rupo agrees on any budget cuts

Over 520 days since the last federal elections there is still no federal government.
The negotiators are now talking about the budget 2012, which the European Commission wants to see approved by the Belgium federal parliament by December 15 2011.

Problem is out of the 11-13 billion Euro's that have to be found for next year the Walloons are only willing to do 3-4 billion in budget cuts, and the rest in new taxes.

The Flemish oppose this since the Belgium state is huge and can use a lipo, and the new taxes proposed could murder the economy.

Now just, the Walloon trade unions have announced that if Di Rupo dares go over those proposed cuts or even if he keeps these they'll go on national strikes.
