The king is pissed off

For the first time the Belgian king Albert showed his human side during his speech on yesterday, for the Belgian National Day, 21st of July. He clearly expressed his disappointment regarding the political situation in his country.

Belgium is without a government for more than 14 months now, breaking every international record, including Irak and Afghanistan, and the negociations over the formation of the next government keep on failing.

Nobody has ever seen King Albert this angry. Several times King Albert repeated that he is extremely worried. The political situation is endangering the role of Belgium within the EU, the quality of life of the Belgian people, and the confidence of foreign investors.

It is remarkable however that King Albert sounded more angry in the dutch version of his speech than in the french version. I think he is not too fond of Bart De Wever. The latter probably could not care less about the speech and was lying on the couch next to his cat as you can see in the below video.
