There are reports that the Belgian Prime Minister has stood down tonight as a result of the yellow jackets' actions in Brussels.
Those reports are wrong. He is stepping down over the UN immigration pact, which caused the biggest party (central right) to leave the government. The PM then tried to look for support with opposition left parties to form a majority government, but they denied him, causing him to offer to resign to the king.
Either way, elections will be next year and in Belgium it doesn't really matter if there is a government or not.
