Or market pressures and the warnings of the European Council President and the marches of thousands of people have managed to avoid that Belgium beat the world record of misrule. Nor chips, national symbol and an excuse for another protest today. It's been 249 days since the election and Belgian politicians, segregated between the opposing linguistic communities who speak Dutch and French speakers have been unable to come to an agreement to form a coalition, essential in a country without national parties.
That's how long it took to announce an agreement on Iraq government, the country that had until now the brand of the longest negotiations in civil war. Thousands of people protest this afternoon the Belgian record with a peculiar irony and celebration in the streets of Brussels and other cities.
If Tunisia had its "jasmine revolution ', the Belgian proposed' revolution of French fries." In years of institutional paralysis, have discovered new ways to convey the displeasure to seven games unable even to sit down and negotiate. Citizens protest, albeit silent, letting the beard grow, as suggested by a French-speaking actor organizing 'Olympics' for new 'champions', setting tents offering electronic or sexual abstinence for politicians to reach an agreement .
And more seriously than in jest, some 35,000 people marched through Brussels in January at a demonstration by a group of young people through Facebook. Unlike that, both now have a clearer sense of vindication of the unity of Belgium against the separatist aspirations of Bart De Wever, the leader of the nationalist party that drew more votes for eight months in Flanders.
To demonstrate that there are still symbols that unite the country, organizers, academics, shared beer and potatoes, national brands. The parties are in no hurry. After the last resignation of the mediator present, the last charge of the task, the Francophone Liberal Didier Reynders, has two weeks to consult and submit another report to King Albert II on how to resume negotiations and set the regional competitions.
Still, life goes on with the government of Yves Leterme, in operation since April 2010 and no powers to make decisions and adopt new budget reforms. Despite the paralysis and a public debt of almost 100% of GDP, Belgium grew last year by 2% above the euro area average.
