Vanackere gone without a single answer

Belgian Minister for Finance, Flemish Christian Democrat Steven Vanackere, resigned on March 5.

His status had been called into question by Flemish nationalists of the N-VA (New Flemish Alliance), who highlighted a possible conflict of interest between the Christian Workers’ Movement (MOC) and the state owned bank, Belfius, formerly known as Dexia.
