Yes, but at the same time, it is this state of affairs that forced the Prime Minister to ally himself with the most virulent party against Francophones. Suddenly, they feel legitimized and uninhibit the other elected officials who otherwise would have been more measured.

Negotiation is great, but how do you deal with people who don't want to hear anything?

this is what I said above, and there is not only Antwerp, there is also zeebruge.
we have also stopped some large Walloon shipyards for Flanders, the streppy boat lift from Bracquegnies for example, which is still not running at full speed as it should because certain channels that we had promised to widen do not were not because the money left for other Flemish investments.

It does not matter that, Flemish commuters will soon have their 2 x 6 lanes to come to work in Brussels more serenely in the morning : Shock:

You say this:
Quote:
The VAT, the profits, the taxes of the French-speaking expenses go in Flanders, but here we do not tell you!

In the past, yes, but now?
I want to know what makes you say that.


It's very simple: the headquarters of most distribution companies (supermarkets), imports (hifi, cars, industrial goods), agrifood manufacturing are located in Flanders.
Brussels and Wallonia constitute 40% of their clientele, and therefore of their profits. VAT is levied in Flanders, employment is Flemish too. Withdraw these companies their turnover towards the French speaking part and make this turnover to companies located in Wallonia, they will already laugh a lot less.

In other words, when you buy a box of peas from Colruyt or Carrefour Belgium, the profit and the taxes are collected in Flanders!
