Belgian premier resigns as coalition comes under pressure
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBelgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has resigned amid pressure on his government after the biggest party in his coalition quit over his support for the UN global compact on migration.
Michel tells Belgian lawmakers that “I am taking the decision to offer my resignation. I am now going to see the king” to inform him.
The lawmakers were demanding that he submit his new minority government to a confidence vote, but Michel had so far refused and a confrontation seemed likely this week.
