The King is worried. Despite the fact that he has no executive power, still he came back from his holidays to talk to the leaders of the winning parties. Now he is the "formateur", the negotiator...? The political situation up side down. Head over hills. There even no legislation, no special accurate laws to organize the new elections in such a crisis situation. So, even that's impossible.
The ex-Prime Minister, Guy Verhofdstat, wants to pack his desk and go home. He's got other job offers, as he prooved to be a great man of the state. The last eight years new not many difficulties that were not solved. But Guy is not allowed to go home. Not yet. So, he sits there in his tower with no power. And that rhymes.... It's been over 5 months that the belgian economy has been abandoned, no one takes care of it. And the politicians are better and better in saying NO to each other.
The would-be-Prime Minister, Yves Leterme, is about to burry his carreer, as he has failed. He has not been able to create his governement, he's getting negative opinions, bad critics and I don't think he will be ever able and allowed to come back to the top. And it looked so good for him when his party, CD&V won the last elections.... The sun has come down.
So far, no solution. and in the meantime the so called Committe for the Language Action (TaalActieComité), organizes controversive actions. Which means that they gather at night in double-language comunities and remove/cover the french versions of the oficial names (street, institutions, etc...), as they claim that these are the dutch-speaking areas. Pfff! And the mair comes to look at it, and grabs his head in disbelieve, and the police comes to talk to the committe, to calm the action down and the televison comes to show it all and hit up the situation even more... pff... we"ll see.
