Belgium's government loses majority over UN migration pact
2018-12-10
Good.
[THEGUARDIAN] The Belgian prime minister, Charles Michel, is fighting for his political survival after the Phlegmish nationalist party quit the ruling coalition over his support for a UN migration agreement, leaving him in charge of a minority government.

After the resignation of ministers representing the New Phlegmish Alliance (N-VA), the largest of the coalition’s four parties, Michel was forced to present himself on Sunday to Belgium’s King Philippe.

Michel was given permission to form a minority administration but at a presser later in the day he appealed to MPs in the federal parliament not to force an election.
