Bouchez aroused resentment, as according to several parties Bouchez' only intention was to make the negotiations fail such as to keep the Wilmès II Government (containing seven MR ministers) in place. The next day Open Vld held an extensive party meeting, at which was unanimously decided that the socio-economic and institutional content of the starting note of the preformationists had to be adjusted before negotiations could start as well as the fact that the party wanted to remain together with its liberal Francophone colleagues from MR. On 4 August the preformationists set up a meeting with the green parties Ecolo and Groen, to discuss their starting note. The green parties as well were of the opinion that serious changes needed to happen for the starting note to be acceptable for them. They asked De Wever and Magnette to clarify on certain gaps in the note, specifically on climate policy and the institutional content. Thereafter on 6 August a meeting was held between the Reformationists and sp.a, CD&V and cdH, in which they analysed which options remained to them after the discussions with the liberals and the greens. The day after a new meeting with the liberal parties was held, who now stated they were willing to talk about the starting note with the preformationists, on the condition that De Wever and Magnette gave more insights on the specific formula they had in mind. On 8 August the preformationists returned to the King, who again extended their assignment, now until 17 August. King Philippe specifically requested all involved parties to display a sense of responsibility to quickly obtain a coalition agreement. The preformationists continued to have meetings with both the liberal as well as the green parties, with on 12 August an exchange with Groen and Ecolo where they discussed the climate, energy and environmental policies. On 13 August the liberal and green parties sent out a joint press release in which they restated their concerns around the institutional plans of the preformationists, and in which they called on De Wever and Magnette to give clarity on which political family they wanted to start the government negotiations with. The day after, on 14 August, a short meeting took place with the liberal parties, but no progress was made, after which De Wever and Magentte decided to hand in their resignation as preformationists at their audience on 17 August and ask the King to hand over the lead of the formation discussions to the liberal and green parties. The King held his decision under consideration and started consultation with the party presidents of N-VA, PS, sp.a, CD&V, cdH, MR, Open Vld, Ecolo, Groen, and DéFI.

remain prime minister and had lashed out heavily at PS-president Paul Magnette in an interview. To recover confidence, the preformationists held separate conversations with each of the parties involved, including Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès in the discussions. All parties separated ways without an agreement, however. The next morning, sp.a decided it no longer wanted to negotiate with MR, as according to them this party was not willing to come to a solution. Open Vld however was still not willing to be separated from MR and wanted to continue under the current constellation, or else Lachaert would return his assignment to the King. Nevertheless, sp.a again joined the meeting that afternoon together with MR, Open Vld, PS, Ecolo, Groen, and CD&V, in an attempt to clear up the problems between the parties. No progress was made, after which the preformationists returned to the King to inform him no consensus had been found on how to continue, and to hand in their resignation. King Philippe however refused to accept their resignation and instead demanded them to continue, giving them until 23 September to restore confidence between the seven parties. That evening Rousseau gave a press conference in which he stated he wanted to continue negotiating, under condition that MR would give a strong internal signal to restore confidence.
2080:, were sitting together frequently to discuss possible measures to fight the Coronavirus. One day later, party presidents Bart De Wever (N-VA) and Conner Rousseau (sp.a) jointly declared the need of quickly forming an emergency government. De Wever suggested to have this government exist only for a limited period of time with its main and most important goal to fight the negative consequences of the Coronavirus. The N-VA-president also proposed to lead this government himself, however PS favored that Sophie Wilmès would remain prime minister, something which was also insisted by Wilmès' party MR. On the evening of 14 March, N-VA, PS, sp.a, MR, Open Vld and CD&V, led by Royal assignment holders Laruelle and Dewael, came together to discuss concretely the planning in forming an emergency government. On 15 March, at 2:00 a.m., the negotiators split without coming to an agreement, but with the intention to continue later that day. Later that morning however, it became apparent that PS and MR were not in favor of an emergency government, stating that replacing the Ministers and changing the composition of the various 2230:, a topic which was very sensitive with government party CD&V. They, as well as cdH, N-VA, and Vlaams Belang were opposed to the proposition. Allegedly, CD&V, MR, and Open Vld had an agreement to send the case back to the qualified commission, despite support for the case by the liberal parties. In the afternoon of 2 July, MR-president Bouchez announced however that he would allow the parliament members of his party to vote freely according to their beliefs. His CD&V colleague Joachim Coens was very displeased about this, stating a breach of trust. Eventually, the case was defined by demanding advice from the Council of State, avoiding a vote. Nevertheless, CD&V held an internal meeting and decided to pause the government formation. According to Coens the confidence between MR and CD&V needed to be regained before the formation could be continued. One day later the initiative takers held a crisis deliberation and the fight between Coens and Bouchez was resolved, after which the trio continued their formation discussions. 1498:
majority in both language groups, but sees parties form a coalition which have very large political differences, most notably between socialists and N-VA. Moreover, the PS had stated on numerous occasions its preference for a purple-green government, while the N-VA only wanted to be in a government with PS in case large community reforms would be made, something which all Francophone parties were against. Purple-green however was difficult for other reasons: with only 76 of 150 seats the majority was very slim, making this uncomfortable while also having a minority in the Flemsh language group. Both Open Vld and CD&V were not in favor of a Flemish minority as this would mean the two largest Flemish parties (N-VA and Vlaams Belang) would end up in the opposition, and as such both parties insisted that PS and N-VA sat together to form a government.

Nevertheless, it was not excluded that other parties could still possibly join the negotiations at a later point. Two days later, on 1 July, sp.a-president Rousseau declared willing to talk about an Arizona coalition, on condition that the trio of initiative takers would take into account some important demands from his party in their starting note. To make clear what these demands were exactly, Rousseau handed a note to the trio, in which he demanded (amongst other) strong investments in health care and a fair contribution by wealthy individuals and large multinationals. Before that, N-VA and cdH had as well sent their priorities to the initiative takers.

As there was no unanimity on who should lead the government, no formationist was appointed yet and instead Lachaert and Rousseau were named preformationists together.

Ultimately by 11 September the preformationists are to report back to the Palace.

This made it very unlikely for the negotiators to be able to meet the deadline of 17 September, the date at which Sophie Wilmès would again have to ask for a vote of confidence for her government, as she had promised during her government statement in the Chamber of Representatives on 17 March. Moreover, several negotiating parties stated they would rather decide in a physical meeting who would become formationist. On 10 September the presidents of the negotiating parties agreed that Sophie Wilmès would be allowed to only need to ask for confidence on 1 October, and the following day the assignment of the preformationists was extended via a telephone audience until 21 September.

According to MR-president Bouchez a triparty government could only be considered if all other options had been eliminated.

The parties in the government and those parties giving powers of attorney would be involved in a so-called 2331:, hoping to force a vote on the issue before 1 October anyway. N-VA and PVDA-PTB followed suit, filing their own motions of no confidence and accusing the government of breaking its own promise.

This coalition would however not have a majority, as the three political families together only held 71 of 150 seats in the Chamber of Representatives.
