Belgium celebrates 'world record' in gov't talks
None
While politicians wallow in Belgium's longest political crisis which pits the leaders of 6 million Dutch-speaking Flemings against those of 4.5 million Francophones, people from around the country are uniting in celebration of crisis day No. 249 on Thursday which many see as equaling the world record for trying to form a government, held by Iraq.
In Ghent, they hope 249 people will strip naked to mark the days of the crisis as part of a party expected to draw thousands. (AP)
