Belgium back in crisis as mediator quits
Belgium plunged back into political crisis on Saturday as the politician trying to broker formation of a government quit, almost three months after an election.
King Albert accepted the resignation of French-speaking Socialist leader Elio Di Rupo, the second mediator who has failed to bridge the divide between French and Dutch speaking parties that besets Belgian politics.
Di Rupo's failure brings closer the possibility of a fresh election to try to produce a viable coalition government.
