--- "German Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer criticized the move as a 'disgrace for Europe'.”

Politics in Europe IS A DISGRACE for Europe, at this point.

Small Islam-in-Europe note: two of the board members have historic Flemish names -- Hafsa El-Bazioui, Green politician, and Saloua El Moussaoui, cd&v party member, whose party advocates for "immigrants" and is slowly losing to the "far-right" in Belgium.

PR for both these women appears in or out of hijab, as the situation warrants them.

As far as I know, even Leopold II wouldn’t do this. Shame, Belgium.

Depending on the area of Belgium you are in, they still regret the Nazis losing WWII.

Munich. Munich?? 1972 comes to mind. The philharmonic is lucky they got out with their very lives.

I was used to the French Belgians being Jew-haters, but it is truly sad to see the Flemish joining in. They had defended Israel and opposed Muslim migrants in Belgium against the Southern majority, but now it seems they have surrendered. Antwerp, my favorite Belgian city (also Flemish), has been completely overrun by Islamic savages, and chased most of the Jews out.
