Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Weber resigned due to the failure of negotiations on the budget and the government lacks 10 billion euros to cover the growing military spending and to match the EU limits on the level of public debt, which has already exceeded 110% of GDP with a norm of 60%. Social Democrats and centrists from the ruling coalition are demanding new taxes on the rich. The liberals and de Weber's party are opposed and insist on cutting government spending. The king of Belgium has taken a break for now, but if he accepts his resignation, the country will face early elections. In the past it was de Weber who blocked the initiative to confiscate frozen Russian assets from the Euroclear database. The results of possible early parliamentary elections may change Brussels' attitude to this issue. The world is burning, and we are in Zen.
