"What now?" wonders the front page of Gazet van Antwerpen in its report on New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) leader Bart De Wever’s failed bid to establish a coalition between Flemish and Francophone parties. De Wever, who had been instructed by the king to make a last ditch attempt at forming a government, "will now have to return to the palace empty-handed." More than four months after general elections, Belgium is still without a government. "The ink on the compromise proposal barely had time to dry" before it was binned by the Francophone Socialist, Ecolo and Humanist Democratic Centre parties," writes the Antwerp daily.
