Que la Belgique crève ! / België Barst !
Lacking anything sensible to do on a Sunday, some 300+ people came from elsewhere in Flanders to Rhode-Saint-Genèse, a suburb of Bruxelles / Brussel and a commune within the province of Flanders, in which 60% or more of the population is Francophone, at the request of Voorpost and the Vlaams Belang, to try and get arrested (the Mayor had declined to issue a permit for the demonstration) for the cause of independence ... for Flanders. Natty uniforms, neh? There were no arrests.
Here's a wicked good report (in French) from TSR (Swiss) for background. It starts with a couple who live in Rhode-Saint-Genèse, and who cannot adopt because ... no, they're not gay or lesbian, but because they're francophones living in Flanders.
