Belgium 2 for 12, King called in to thrathen Flemish parties into submission

Still no goverment and still no budget for 2012, despite having a European deadline.
Formator Di Rupo seems neither in a hurry and neither to compensate on the electoral promises the PS made.
Which is making some Flemish politicians believe that Di Rupo would not be a good Prime Minister, since he obviously can't transcend his own parties ideology.

Di Rupo will visit the king Albert II, this afternoon, most likely a royal communication will be given out stating the negotiators should work together and give up their own standpoints for the greater glory of Belgium. Note with this it will be meant that the Flemish parties should accept the Walloon parties proposals without complaining.

This will be the second time that our current monarch will throw such an fierce message towards the Flemish politicians, a shriek reminder that this king is neither a-political or even concerned about the well being of 60% of the populous.

Belgium T-Minus 10 years for Greek scenario

A few moment ago the PS (Parti Socialiste), the largest political party in the upcoming Belgium federal government has announced that they will not approve any of the budget cuts proposed by Europe.

Meaning literally that in order to meet the EU budget rules taxes will have to go up. This is something what the majority of the Flemish population doesn't want, with no Flemish majority in the upcoming goverment (due to forced exit NVA and release of the Green parties), little to nothing will be done to stop the first Walloon PM in 30-40 years to rise taxes to 60-70% of the income.

The argument of the PS is, that they are not willing to make the budget cuts that could endanger the social security of the citizens now or in the future.
