New Flemish Alliance Quits Government

Leaders from the Belgian NVA party (also called the New Flemish Alliance) have Declared that they have lost confidence in the Coalition Federal Government and are Quitting.

Belgian Cat and Flemish Separatist Elton Jansen called the move “vooruitgang.” Though not an Official Member of any Political Party, Jansen has long supported an Independent Flanders and has Organized Rallies, Protests, and other Demonstrations in order to Make his Case. The NVA’s move is likely to put Pressure upon other Flemish Leaders within the Government to decide whether to support a Unified Belgium or allow it to Fracture.

Prime Minister Yves Leterme has already Struggled Greatly to keep Political Crisis at Bay in the Nation of Belgium. His Coalition Government was pieced together earlier this Year, and he nearly Resigned once already over this Issue.

“La Bandita” to Take Advantage of Gap in Ferry Service

Just days after the Dutch Ferry company Norfolkline announced that it will resume Operations of a Ferry Route from Scotland to Belgium that is being Abandoned by the Greek company Superfast – but only after about an eight-month gap with no Service available, Belgian Cat, Swashbuckler, and Maritime Criminal “La Bandita” announced Plans to Hijack the Route during the Break and put the Squeeze on all of the Businesses and Individuals who depend upon the Ferry Service.

“La Bandita” is wanted by Authorities for Piracy in the Waters around Western Europe. Marine Constables and the International Constable of the Nation of Belgium are Advising any Individuals and Businesses who have been using the recently-abandoned Ferry Route from Rosyth to Zeebrugge to make every Effort to fine an Alternative Route, as “La Bandita” is not a Licensed Transportation Authority and will not provide proper Safety Measures despite presumably charging an Increased Fee for Transport. She is not expected to Harm Passengers; however, her motives should be considered Highly Suspect.

Further Talks Recommended for Flanders-Wallonia Relations

The Belgian Coalition of François-Xavier de Donnea, Raymond Langendries, and Karl-Heinz Lambertz, appointed by King Albert II to work with Prime Minister Yves Leterme in order to bring about a Resolution to the ongoing National Crisis of the increased Calls to Split Up the Nation – have reached a Verdict: 12 More Leaders must Convene to Talk some More.

The King, Princess Ophelia, and Prime Minister Leterme are expected to Move on the Matter soon, calling together a Coalition of six Flemish and six Walloon Leaders to have Further Dialogue and possibly Draft a Binding Agreement between the Two Factions.

However, analysts point out that some of the more Influential Individuals involved in the Tense Situation are unlikely to be invited to the Table. Political insider and Socialist Walloon Persia Zuur and Flemish Separatist organizer Elton Jansen are likely to be Passed Over by the King in favour of Members of the Political Establishment. Questions will therefore almost certainly Arise about the Legitimacy of an Agreement reached by the Politically Appointed Coalition.

“Dirtyface” Zanoni, Notorious Gangster and Belgian Cat, is a prime Suspect in the latest Mafioso-like Stunt to befall Nurses in France.
