Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme resigns

Written by Admin 2 19 May 2010

Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme resigned on Thursday after a key Flemish party withdrew its support and toppled his coalition government, a senior minister announced. ‘There was no other choice but for the government to resign,’ Finance Minister Didier Reynders told reporters after the Flemish liberal Open VLD party pulled out of the five-party coalition. Open VLD were frustrated by the failure to solve a long-running dispute between Belgium's Dutch-speaking and Francophone communities.

Pray: for the Belgian peoples as they consider a new Prime Minister that there would be a meeting of minds. (Pr.3:13)
