This is flanders

Like most countries we have our share of right-wing nationalists, but not like those here. This account is mostly to share their antics with the world.

In Flanders while they let children sleep outside in boxes, the city of Antwerp (led by @de_NVA) have the money to restore the grave of a Nazi collaborator that they see as a hero.

Flanders is still trading with Russia. A quarter of Russian diamonds is still for #Antwerp. Russia uses this to circumvent other sanctions and to fund the atrocities in the #UkraineWar #Ukraine @KyivIndependent

@DalaiLama You certainly never have met a Flemish nationalist.

#Flanders invest more resource in detecting "fraud" among the #poor than companies or their owners. Systematically understaffing departments to detect major fraud and not wanting to close loopholes to siphon of billions to tax havens...

Flemish government subsidies the collection of rich industrialists, even if those art organizations are officially located in tax havens.

Good news everyone after a lot of pressure Ypres has made the decision to withdraw permission to organise the concert !

Not far from the Flemish Fields where #British soldiers gave their lives in the First World War at #Ypres, Flemish nationalists are organizing a Nazi concert.

UPDATE | Ieper heeft besloten om de toestemming voor het extreemrechtse festival 'Frontnacht' in te trekken 👏👏👏

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

@InesSAUVION @lalibrebe C'est la norme en Flandre et je le dis en tant que Flamand. Je voudrais toutefois faire remarquer que l'organisation de ce genre de choses se fait principalement à Anvers et que ce lieu est hautement symbolique. Cela n'a pas grand-chose à voir avec la Flandre occidentale.

[François De Smet @francoisdesmet]

Si la ville de Ypres ne prend pas rapidement ses responsabilités, je demande que la ministre @AnneliesVl prenne les siennes pour ne pas autoriser un tel rassemblement.

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

@CWGC What do your followers think of the fact that Ypres Town Council is allowing a neo-Nazi festival of hate to take place on those Flemish fields where so many British soldiers gave their lives? Shameful isn't it?

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

Some extra background from an article written by @ColborneMichael - here in Flanders the festival does not get a lot of media attention because of the close ties between Flemish media and the biggest right wing Flemish nationalist party @de_NVA.

Peace is a fragile thing and such festivals are only out to upset the balance. Never again war.
The festival "Frontnacht" on 27 Aug 2022 in the peace city of Ypres should not be allowed.

@Harryslaststand I used to always enjoy reading your dad's tweets. Can imagine myself that he would be horrified by this, celebrating hatred on fields where so many British forces gave their lives. Could you point people in Great Brittain what is going on in Ypres and Flanders?

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

@nexta_tv Also fun fact the party that is in bed with the Antwerp diamond sector and where the party chairman is also seen with Putin henchmen, is the same party that tried to destroy Ukraine - Belgian relationship with the #lahbib story (shout out to @KyivIndependent)

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

@nexta_tv Too bad Flanders still feeds the Russian war chest by trading diamonds through the Antwerp diamond industry which is in bed with the Flemish nationalists. We are talking about billions that thus escape the sanctions.

Фламандські націоналісти вважають, що українські біженці надто мало працюють і лише виграють від фламандської «гостинності». Навіть незважаючи на те, що багато з них роблять правильні речі, як-от вивчення мови, щоб добре інтегруватися.

[This is flanders @thisisflanders]

Flemish nationalists believe that Ukrainian refugees work too little and only benefit from Flemish "hospitality". Even though a lot of them do the right thing like language studies, in order to integrate well.

Flemish nationalists are stance supporters of the idea that people with #mentalhealth problems are just lazy. We are in the top regarding European suicide numbers
