Belgian Vice-PM Wilmes resigns to take care of ill husband

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Belgian Foreign Minister and deputy premier Sophie Wilmes has resigned, the cabinet announced on Thursday, to take care of her husband, former Australian footballer Chris Stone, who has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Wilmes, who was Belgium’s prime minister in 2019-20 and the first woman in that role, had already temporarily stepped down in April for the same reason, stating then that the situation would be re-evaluated during the summer. “My husband’s illness will be a difficult battle that I want to fight alongside him and alongside our children,” Wilmes said in the statement.
