Lost?! This was only in the news for like 5 years.
Words “verkest” & “dioxine” are probably synonyms in the “dikke vandale”
What is about this building, I’ve never seen it before.
Ah yes, the guy who had 800 million francs on his bank account and a laywer who tried to claim that was a normal amount for every hard working belgian…
When will 3M get this kind of scrutiny? And where is the political crisis for PFAS like there was one with dioxine?
Feels like we’re getting soft on pollution
Ik herinner me vaag een opmerking van minister Colla in de zin van “dringende actie is niet nodig aangezien het grootste deel van de vergiftigde producten al zijn geconsumeerd”. Never change, Belgian politics.
De dioxinecrisis oftewel de tijd dat onze hond alle ingevroren kipproducten van de ganse familie als eten kreeg.
It triggered the previous rise of the green party. The fall came later, when emotions calmed down again. 20 years later and the nuclear exit, decided back then, is a fact.
