Bart De Wever asks King of Belgium to accept his resignation

Decision to leave office

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever officially appealed to the King to accept his resignation. This step was a consequence of the failure in the coalition consultation process dedicated to forming the 2027 budget.

This information was confirmed in an official statement by the Royal Palace.

Context and position on Russian assets

It is known that Bart De Wever previously acted as one of the key opponents of the idea of confiscating frozen Russian assets to provide financial support to Ukraine. Belgium remains the main hub for storing such assets within the European Union.
