      "text": "SITUATION NOW\nBelgium experienced widespread unrest including tear gas, 140 flight cancellations, and student riots, described as Prime Minister De Wever's worst day yet. [5]\nA Belgian minister has distanced himself from a fake opinion piece scandal. [4]\n\nWHAT THIS MEANS FOR BELGIUM\nBelgium's high net energy import dependency of 75% makes its renewed embrace of nuclear power a strategic move to reduce vulnerability. [1][E3]\nThe 40 sanctions designations linked to Belgium may complicate the diplomatic objectives of the royal visit to Kazakhstan. [2][E2]\n\nKEY RISKS\nBelgium's 75% net energy import dependency leaves it exposed to supply disruptions during domestic unrest. [E3]\n\nWATCH ITEMS\nThe outcome of the fake opinion piece scandal involving a Belgian minister remains unresolved. [4]\nIt is unclear whether the unrest described as De Wever's worst day will lead to lasting political consequences. [5]",
