Jesus, they changed the Leopold II tunnel to Annie Cordy tunnel? Seems a bit weird to change the name of one of the most important tunnels of Belgium to some random singer. At least use another important person, like President JFK in Antwerp, if you really want to take away our King’s name. (Angela) Merkel tunnel could have been iconic as she just left her position, a very strong woman who was one of the world leaders? Missed opportunity.
Personally also don’t agree with using such a vital (public!) tunnel for pursuing political or ideological agendas by turning it into 1 long feminist thing (the exposition thing, not the name). You’d expect such expensive and vital things to be pretty neutral & equal for all citizens.
