Political situation in Belgium

Every media has mentioned: Belgium is in a crisis. After 180 days, we still don't have a real Belgian government...
It isn't true! They have already a government, but it is the same one as 180 days before...
It is not a government of 'current businesses', like these papers are writing, but it is a government who cannot make/certify new laws, according to the Belgian Constitution.
The main problem is that the Flemish want to have more authorities in their agreement in a symbolic Brussels-Halle-Vilvorde-pact. Symbolic of course! Once there is an agreement, then the state reformation will continue to split up Belgium, (ea)sil(l)y saying...
As we have written before in the label "Belgium", Flanders is economically more powerfull than Wallonia and therefore it is logic that these Flemish politicians have to create the rules for Belgium.
As always, the French Elite, under the supervision of CdH aren't satisfied with their decreasing power on Belgium.
But we think that personal grounds are submerged in this farce.
The former Prime Minister of Flanders, Yves Leterme with his 800 000 votes from Flemish people has humiliated the Walloons by quoting that they couldn't speak Dutch at all. In times of quick decisions, he can easily make mistakes, so a very strong preparing Cabinet has to be created for him. His person is to be failed for a strong leadership, a strong leader that all Belgians are prefering. And these Belgians don't know which person is a strong leader for the next government, because BEFORE everybody were expecting Leterme as Prime Minister for Belgium. Time to have exit polls or public reformations...
According to us, the result of this all is a well-considered strategy of Verhofstadt, existing Prime Minister, to let us, people, know that Belgium don't need to have State Reformations at all! "We are happy with this situation nowadays (federal states), what would you expect more?... A separation?! NO WAY", so his thinking would like to say...
The only solution, in our opinion, would be that the alliance of CD&V and NVA is to be breaken down by the political party or "parties" itselves.
And that is what happens NOW theoretically: internal rivaltry by supposing...

De welvaartstaat, l'état prospérité, der Wohlstand-Staat, the welfare-estate, зажиточность-положение, 繁荣状态

Belgium is a welfare-estate: it has one of the best health-care systems of the world and his social-security system is constantly extended.
But the Belgians aren't satisfied and happy. More they have, more they complain because POSSESSION is an obsession to be TAXED.
These taxes are being used for this welfare-costs AND for the estate's complex federal government-structure. If you know there are three different population segments with each its own government, together orchestrated in Brussels in separated cabinets, and that our king with his family, the symbol of unity, is financed with our authorities-money, then you have to ask yourself: where does all that money come from?!
The 'climax' of this story is: one segment of this population, the french-speaking Wallonia, is in an economic 'depression' (more 'jobless') than the flourishing, Flemish-speaking Flanders. The minor German-speaking side are observating this silently until they have the opportunity to join in at the right time. Because it is Belgium, there is an unspoken 'solidarity' between these communities and therefore the 'rich' Flanders has to 'help' the poor Walloons for a while...
Note of history: The Flanders were always being 'used' by the former French elite-government until these different reformations that leads us to Belgium today...
Unsatisfied, unhappy people apparently.
Maybe it is caused by different weather, water and air-quality that makes people see it (in)different...
"Not my cup of tea", you should think...
But we think that deep inside the hearts of all Belgians, we're proud to be living in Belgium, because of the welfare-state, because of its central infrastructure in Europe, because of our way of enjoying life (Burgundians), because of the international acknowledgement as well as on economical, social and service-minded level. And our well known chocolates that will bring us in the mood for love...

Go orange-green for a new government!


Haven't we told earlier that in times of uncertainty, we can fall back on ONE traditional party in Belgium, the Christian Democrats? Developments of corruption by the red socialists in French-speaking Belgium (Agusta again?! No(w) Charleroi) has certainly participated on the free fall of them in Belgium. In every manifestation, the red members of the trade-union are present. People like you and me don't want to feel obstructed by these actions: the more strikes there are, the more unstable poli-social events will be. So, let's face reality.
Info: Political parties in Belgium
Of course this traditional political party has taken wrong decisions too in the past, but which isn't it? They always deserve a second chance. And a third, and a fourth... Peoples' memory are not lasting forever.
We only can hope to start with a new page in political Belgium. If this person will execute this in a correct way as he has promised...
Green
Why orange must cooperate with green: these are beautiful colours together...
A happy orange colour will be tempted by an neutralist /naturalistic (read: realistic) green colour. It's time to face the world with a happy smile and a strong family-union, because that's the only solution to an soured society.
In this era, people are more and more conscious of how important nature-keeping is. They want to spill lesser, use recycled materials, install green energy, ... But please don't exaggerate with green taxes, like this unbelievable CO2 emission-tax: everyone produces CO2! And poisoned air or ground is inevitable, but reducible. The big industries will take their responsibilities. Even China will, but it takes time. Every nation has his benefits with it.

Voetbal = oorlog, Le foot = la guerre, Füssball = Krieg, Soccer = war, futbol = война



If we see soccer in a few countries, then we will know many things about the culture there:
is the sport-accommodation well-structured, are there any coaches who will put their players to the limit, any motivation for this sport, how is the competition between national teams, who are their fans, the children are well-guided to their beloved sport, what about team-spirit?....
I wonder why the Belgians are loosing again against an unknown foreign team. I think it's their national character: they are quickly satisfied...
Once they have won, they want to take a rest. With other words, they don't have hair on their teeth's, they don't show character. Even when the infrastructure is well organised and trainings are frequently done, it depends on luck to score. And that's a pity...
Why does somebody has a talent and others not? It's the passion for the game that counts, the winning-spirit. The background of a player is important. If somebody has seen life as a survival, and you know that this person has the talent to make it, he will become a great player when he is well-guided. Simply look at the background of many top-soccer's: nearly all of them came from the slums or have to fight each day for a living.
If you want to reach the ultimate dream, you have to fight for it, in which job you are in to. Whatever it is, your work, sport, dream, girl... you have to believe in it and fight for it.
With a good strategy from your coach, you will attain everything you have dreamed of.
(And for the Belgians: keep moving forward! Don't rest in your laurels!)
