Another one bites the dust
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo announces he will resign after losing to right-wing parties in European elections
The European Union elections have claimed yet another political scalp, after Belgium's liberal prime minister resigned following a massive electoral defeat tonight.
The continent is currently seeing a wave of far-Right victories in the EU elections, taking place this weekend.
Already, France, Germany and Austria have seen a rise in popularity for hardline anti-immigration parties.
And now Belgium has followed suit, after nationalist parties swept up the votes in the bloc-wide election.
Alexander De Croo, leader of the Flemish Liberals and Democrats, also known as Open VLD, announced tonight that he would step down as the leader of his nation tomorrow, following the shocking election results.
Open VLD has taken in just six percent of the votes, 90% of which have been counted, at the European Union elections.
