Thousands of Belgians took to the streets embarrassed by the lack of government

More than 30,000 Belgians, according to police, said yesterday in downtown Brussels to express their disgust and shame by a political class unable to agree on forming a government more than seven months after the June elections. The peaceful march in good spirits specific to the Belgians, was an expression of popular impotence against a political class unanimously described as incompetent.

Among the demonstrators was unconstitutional exits proponents as the dissolution of the parties or that the king takes power. The polls took place on 13 June a power relationship between Flemish and Francophone parties made the separatist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) in the key of an arc that is now impossible to close.

Repeated attempts to reach an agreement during this time have been vacant and the Belgians less politicized, tired of waiting for a deal have been thrown out. In yesterday's demonstration were repeated banners against the incompetence of a political class navel-gazing, which do not appear to spur the urgencies of the financial crisis.

The march, organized spontaneously by the Flemish and a Walloon university through Facebook, was led by a banner written in English: "Shame" (shame).
