Caretaker Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme announced he would be taking up a new job as deputy Secretary General of the OECD on the 13 September 2011. Talks to create a new coalition after a record-breaking 458 days with no government broke down again the same day, creating an atmosphere of crisis. However, on the 14 September 2011, Elio Di Rupo, the mediator trying to form a government in Belgium was able to announce a breakthrough after tense negotiations that day between eight political parties. He said the parties had agreed on solutions to sticking points including a dispute over Bruxelles-Hal-Vilvorde (BHV), a district covering the capital and the suburbs. |
