In a statement released today, Leisterh expressed hope that his departure might pave the way for the formation of a governing majority.

He criticized several partners for preventing any reasonable exploration of potential solutions, which contributed to his decision to step aside.

Additionally, Leisterh has canceled his scheduled press conference that was originally set for later today.

Leisterh underscored the importance of establishing a clear government agreement that includes both language groups in Brussels.

David Leisterh, the Brussels formateur, has announced his decision to step aside amid stalled negotiations that have reached an impasse.

He emphasized that the facilitator's role is to secure a government agreement with a clear majority from both linguistic groups, but after more than eight months, no consensus has been achieved.

Over the past two weeks, he described his discussions as a 'last chance' to resolve the political crisis in Brussels, yet no agreement was reached.

Leisterh called on the PS party to take responsibility in the ongoing negotiations and reiterated his willingness to engage in dialogue for the benefit of the region.

Leisterh noted that despite his efforts, the differing positions of the parties involved have hindered the formation of a majority.

Despite stepping back, he remains open to dialogue aimed at benefiting the region.

His decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing political negotiations in Brussels.
