What happens
What started as a fairly normal appointment turned into another political crisis for our government. The Prime Minister needed to appoint a new member to the Royal Academy of Medicine, and he put forward Adriaan Martens for consideration. This turned out to be a controversial choice due to Martens' Flemish nationalism and collaboration with the German occupiers during the Great War. This choice has been heavily opposed by veterans, liberals, French-speaking Belgians and even the King has indicated displeasure. the Belgian leader has tried to defend the choice, but has come under increasing pressure. His opponents have called for a snap election to choose a new leader, although Spaak could potentially have the political capital to fight for this position.
