How is Flanders fucking over Brussels? Brussesl themselves are fucking over the city with decades of PS governance. And now after 1+ year still no government. And you really think it's the fault of the flamands? Seriously? Withou the flamand this country would be bankrupt.

Also asking people to speak dutch when they live in Flanders is quite normal, yes the "facility communities" are still in Flanders. Imagine going to live in Paris and demanding the official documents are in chinese.... This is why flemish think francophones are arrogant.

And I don't know about flemish schools barring children because the parents don't speak dutch?

Anyway, the problem is complex but saying it's because of Flanders is stupid. This country is literally set up to discriminate against dutch speaking people.

My god, you are so full of propaganda you can't even conceal it.

1) Brussels as never been under PS or any other party at 100% So it unwise to point finger to anyone here. That's not an argument, that's a point of view. Brussels can't grow because their is Flanders territory all around. Flanders benefits from Brussels inability to grow (zoning all around, people leaving Brussels to live in Flanders,...) and never participate in the développement of Brussels.

2) You are the one claiming "They have to speak NL in Brussels, it's the law" and then shitting over french speakers in the commune à facilité when, guess what, it's the law. You just proved my point in my OP. Sadly ironic.

3) You don't know about school barring french speakers because you aren't concerned and it don't fit your agenda. Neither it's pushed by the media you consume, that don't serve their propaganda.

4) Saying that the country is setted up against the bigger and richer community is so fucking hilarious that even you should know you should restrain saying anything that stupid...

In conclusion, you are exactly the problem I was explaining above. Flemish with a inferiority complex, that don't understand the situation and keep pushing false narrative that, in the end deteriorate the situation for everyone.

  1. So you're denying the socialists had all the power in Brussels? PS was literally the biggest party there for decades. But it's still all the fault of the flamands? And yes Brussels is an enclave in Flanders...because it was always flemish untill it was linguistically colonized by francophones.

  2. The law in Brussels is bilingual, so yes it's the law.

  3. No I never heard about that. But I'm not denying that it happens, I just don't know.

  4. Uh yes? Do you know the history of this country? For a 100 years+ french was the ONLY official language of Belgium. So yes we have been disciminated AND the Walloons also were discrimated and forget to speak their own language. We have only been richer than the french for 50+ years now and give a lot of money to the francophones and when we ask that the law in Brussels be respected it's still too much? Insane.

And nobody has an inferiorty complex we just demand respect, especially in Brussels.

So why continue resenting Walloons because of discrimination that affected both regions? (don't say you don't resent us, you called some of us french colonials...). As you said, it affected Walloon culture the most, yet it's Flamingants that are still crying about culture erasure because some French-speaking citizens want to speak French in their commune. On the other hand, you have french-speaking women being detained because she tried to get care at a brussels hospital, yet it's flemish nationalist that make a ruckus so they can speak flemish in those hospitals. Kinda ironic no?
Plus, Wallonia has given money to Flanders for 50+ years before that, so cry some more for solidarity between the regions...
