5 December – Belgium's first recorded death by hazing: the 20-year-old KU Leuven student Sanda Dia dies after taking part in the initiation ceremony for the subsequently disbanded Reuzegom fraternity.
9 December – a political crisis emerged over whether to sign the Global Compact for Migration; in an N-VA u-turn the party opposed signing whereas the other three parties in government continued to support it. On 4 December the Prime Minister of Belgium, Charles Michel, announced that the issue would be taken to parliament for a vote. On 5 December, parliament voted 106 to 36 in favor of backing the agreement. Michel stated that he would endorse the pact on behalf of the parliament, not on behalf of the divided government. Consequently, N-VA left the government; the other three parties continue as a minority government (Michel II).
16 December – More than 5,500 people marched in a protest against the Global Compact for Migration, organized by Flemish right-wing parties. A smaller counter-demonstration of around 1,000 people was organised by left-wing groups.
18 December – Prime Minister Charles Michel presented his government's resignation to the King, who accepted it a few days later.
