  1. I wonder why it is up to us for this, surely we aren’t the only ones with Russian frozen-assets. Why are we being pushed around for this?

  2. I’m in general not a big fan of BDW, but think he’s right in this case. It’s absurd that Belgium should carry the full risk of releasing the assets, while it is clearly a European decision and therefore should be a shared responsibility.

  4. Just to recall, all EU member states have an interest in Euroclear Bank.

    Most EU member states issue sovereign bonds through Euroclear Bank, their companies issue corporate bonds through Euroclear Bank, and their citizens hold pension investments through Euroclear Bank. Euroclear also operates the national CSDs in FR, NL, FI, SE.

    Belgium should make it clear there is a common EU interest in preserving Euroclear Bank’s integrity. It’s not just a Belgian problem.

  5. Good let anglo warmongers finance and fight their own wars.

  6. I agree with him about the legality of releasing assets.
    But not on “it won’t help peace in Ukraine”. There won’t be peace in Ukraine, Putin won’t let it go. He is playing Putin’s carpet.

  7. Men kan wel loon confisqueren onder het mom van belastingen. Doe nekeer uw best vrienden.

  8. And why the fuck is an account claiming to be a news outlet posting here with links to its own media?

  11. Belgium is king in finding ways to squeeze as much tax from its population as possible and also give strange populous subsidies that are cheap but can be sold politically as a win. So after the frigosubsidie (frigo=fridge) I propose a frigotax on the frozen assets, no confiscation just regular Belgian governance.
