This Sunday saw more than 40,000 Belgians take to the streets of Brussels, to call shame on the political deadlock which sees the country without a government for well overt 200 days Seven months after the June elections, Belgium is still without a government as coalition talks drag on between the country's different political parties and linguistic groups. Belgium, the country that hosts the EU institutions, has been governed by an interim cabinet for over 200 days.
The country's political class has been divided over a linguistic dispute between the Dutch-speaking half of the country and poorer French-speaking Wallonia in the south.
"What do we want? We want a government," said protesters, mainly young people, some of whom were wearing jumpsuits in what they had dubbed the 'March of Shame'.
