Due to three ministers of the Belgian Government resigning over their refusal to sign onto the U.N. Marrakesh migration pact.
The Belgian Prime Minister is tasked with forming a new government. He has just left a meeting with the King of Belgium, who has to accept the changes to government for it to be official. There will be a meeting of ministers at 3 o'clock local time then a press conference afterwards.
This new government needs to be legitimized today or tomorrow at the latest for Belgians to legally participate in the new United Nations immigration pact which be signed Monday or Tuesday.
Translated from Belgian news organisation L'Echo (the echo):
Update on the situation
Charles Michel arrived to see the King shortly after midday to formally act on the exit of the N-VA from his government, announced last night. He came out of the Laeken Palace less than an hour later.
In the process, a council of ministers will be held, bringing together now three parties: MR, VLD and CD & V, which intend to continue in a minority government.
According to our information, Maggie De Block would take over the skills of Theo Francken, namely Asylum and Migration.
This new Council of Ministers could approve the UN Migration Pact.
All these elements will allow Charles Michel to fly this Sunday afternoon to Marrakech supported by a legally installed government.
