Dear Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes, certain things are going on in the country, which I consider it necessary to let you know, since from the colonial era, the Belgian government has committed and supported so much crime to the extent that the government can no longer acknowledge what a crime is and what is not.

 

There are three great politicians I deeply respect in Belgium. They are the Mayor of Antwerp, Bart De Wever; the former Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel; and the current Health Minister, Maggie De Block.
