1. >Just before the Easter vacations, Brouns submitted a subsidy file […] for a project to promote innovation in fruit and vegetable growing. One of the beneficiaries was Agropolis, an agricultural research center in Kinrooi, Limburg […]. Agropolis would receive almost half of the total subsidies, or some 430.000 euros.

   >However, Brouns [CD&V] had not told in advance that his father was chairman of Agropolis and ultimately, under pressure from Demir [N-VA] and Rutten [Open VLD], decided to withdraw the sudsidy file.

2. Oh no, I would’ve never expected that from the CD&V.

   Wel fijn dat je blijkbaar gewoon je poging tot fraude kan intrekken met een mea culpa zonder al te veel gevolg. Zou ik eens moeten proberen bij een snelheidsovertreding.

5. Instantly jail.
