比利时：预算谈判再陷僵局 总理德韦弗预计向国王递交政府辞呈
比利时《时报》（De Tijd）11月2日报道，比利时政府在周一凌晨再次未能就明年预算达成协议，可能触发政府危机：总理 Bart De Wever 预计将向国王递交政府辞呈。路透社援引该报报道了这一进展。
比利时联合政府已就 De Wever 所称保持国家财政受控所需的100亿欧元（约112亿美元）预算削减与增税争论数月。据《时报》消息来源，De Wever 定于周一晚些时候会见比利时国王菲利普，递交其政府的辞呈；该报说，国王可能不会立即接受辞呈。
分歧在于路径：De Wever 的弗拉芒民族主义党新弗拉芒联盟（N-VA）与自由派的革新运动（MR）主张削减医疗支出，而社会主义与中间派执政伙伴要求提高财富税。近几个月来，比利时政府债券利率已大幅上升。
De Wever 此前警告，一个迫在眉睫的债务与利息成本螺旋将迫使政府借钱只为支付现有贷款的利息。截至本稿发出时，比利时政府尚未正式宣布辞职，后续进展取决于国王的决定与各政党磋商。
Belgium: Budget Talks Collapse Again, PM De Wever Expected to Offer Government's Resignation to King
The Belgian government early on Monday, November 2, again failed to reach an agreement on next year's budget, triggering a possible government crisis as Prime Minister Bart De Wever is likely to offer his resignation, Belgian newspaper De Tijd reported. Reuters reported the development citing the paper.
The governing coalition has been arguing for months over €10 billion ($11.2 billion) in budget cuts and tax increases that De Wever says are needed to keep state finances in check. De Wever was set to meet Belgian King Philippe later on Monday to hand in the resignation of his government, sources told De Tijd. The king would likely not immediately accept the resignation, the paper said.
The split runs over the path to savings: De Wever's Flemish nationalist N-VA and the liberal MR are seeking cuts in healthcare spending, while their socialist and centrist coalition partners have demanded higher wealth taxes. Interest rates on Belgian government bonds have risen sharply in recent months.
De Wever has warned that a looming debt and interest-cost spiral would force the government to borrow money only to pay the interest on existing loans. As of publication, the Belgian government had not formally announced a resignation, and the next steps depend on the King's decision and consultations among the parties.
