Belgian PM De Wever resumes budget talks with deputy PMs after two-day pause

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has restarted federal budget negotiations, convening bilateral meetings with deputy prime ministers on Wednesday after a two-day suspension triggered by weekend tensions. The content of the talks is uncertain, including whether De Wever will retain proposals such as a possible VAT increase or introduce new options. The outcome is critical for the coalition's stability and fiscal policy direction.
