So, do they switch it around from time to time or what?
Yall love inconsistent logic and wasting time in Belgium
If it riles up the linguistic prudes, it’s fantastic.
Brussel ligt toch in Vlaanderen? /s
Het enige dat mij stoort is dat er geen witruimte tussen de woorden staat. Zo lelijk om ze tegen elkaar te plakken zonder reden. Ze hadden perfect Bourse boven de linker zuil en Beurs boven de rechterzuil kunnen hangen. Dan is het politiek ook nog eens consistent met onze gewesten.
They do realise there are actual problems in the country instead of inventing trivial stuff like that
Yesterday I went to a Carrefour (in Flanders) and bought some Tortellini. The French title (for what kind of tortellini they were) had a bigger font. In Colruyt, a few kms from there, the Dutch title had a bigger font.
I can only imagine the costs involved to produce two different versions of the same packaging.
Suggestion from an Italian: get rid of both Dutch and French titles and leave just the Italian. And sell them cheaper, come on 5€ for some Rana tortellini? If you go to Italy, don’t enter supermarkets.
Why don’t we put only Börse ? With this, none of the community will be happy and thus both community will be happy
I always love how the biggest Flandrophobic politicians have almost always a Flemish surname themselves.
So a guy named “De Bock” complains that it is outrageous to use dutch words before the french words because it would be an unfair way of stimulating dutch. Brussels should be french according to him. Ironic
Jokes on them, because of the font it’s all smashed together and the second part of a composite word is the part you’re going to remember.
Emmanuel De Bock mag zijn naam gerust veranderen in Le Bocque of zo. Ergens tussen uw voorouders, of gij zelf, zit een dikke rat. Broekzele is Vlaams!
Burscheburg
When you know, you know
Défi logic: 15% speaks Dutch, so Brussels is 85% French speaking. There are no bilingual people or any others speaking one of the about 150+ other languages in Brussels.
Ahh yes, the vervlaamsing van brussel…. Wtf….
I do wonder in what degree identity politics and distraction politics are overlapping.
“De Bock” klinkt als nen echte Fransman
‘capitale du pay francophone’ ?
Kus mijn kloten eens. Ik ben geen hardcore flamingant maar wtf.
Now please change the subtitles in cinema please. Even in the flemish side it’s french first.
Whatever the order is, that font is shit.
Why adding text in a shit font on the building to begin with?
‘t Es de beuzze en niks annes as de beuzze, putain! Zievereirs!
Who cares? Seriously, what a luxury problem.
Is there someone who really thinks this is a problem that needs to be solved? Someone who doesn’t understand what building it is, because the order of the languages?
Meanwhile a few streets next to this building people with kids are sleeping in the streets.
Politicians should be disgraced by prioritising this bullshit.
Haha, he’s complaining about linguistic colonization of all things. It’s funny how completely brain-dead this guy is.
Fun fact : stocks were invented in Belgium. The word Beurs comes from the Van der Beurz family in Brugge. That family lived in a building located on the place were stocks were exchanged.
Vervlaamsing van Brussel? 😆
Woon eens in de Vlaamse rand en je ziet hoe Vlaams het aan het worden is 🤷
It is kind of crazy to be French speaking in Brussels and to be angry about there being too much Dutch in Brussels.
