| Subject: Government in Belgium Loses Majority Over U.N. Migration Pact Mon Dec 10, 2018 5:46 am | |
| BRUSSELS — The Belgian government has lost its majority in Parliament after its biggest coalition partner, the right-wing Flemish party, left in opposition to the planned signing this month of an international agreement on migration. Prime Minister Charles Michel, in announcing the end of his majority government during a news conference on Saturday, said, “One party, the N-VA, calls into question our common decision to join the U.N. migration pact, taken earlier this year in July.” Mr. Michel said he would try to lead the remaining minority government to “ensure stability.” On Sunday, he formalized the resignation of the five N-VA ministers from his government, appointing ministers from the remaining coalition partners in their place.
