Brussels
A capital city with an international port AND beaches AND forests AND many gardens.
Facilities available for all Belgians : Brussels is the solution and NOT the problem.
Brussels cannot be exchanged for change. Instead it should stay as a model of exchange : multicultural and multilingual.
In times of drawing back into separate communities everyone should go halfway and imagine Brussels as the ideal capital of the continent, Europe based on the plurality of its identities.
Brussels is the best model to export ... let us start within our borders.
Brussel
Een hoofdstad met zijn internationale haven EN zijn zandstranden EN zijn naaldbossen EN zijn platteland...
Faciliteiten voor al de Belgen : Brussel is de oplossing en niet het probleem !
Brussel mag geen wisselmunt worden maar moet een wisselwerking mogelijk maken : intercultureel en meertalig.
Nu de gemeenschappen zich op zichzelf terugplooien, zou eenieder zijn landkaart moeten hertekenen met Brussel als mogelijke hoofdstad van een Europa duidend op verscheidenheid van identiteiten
Brussel is het beste exportmodel... laten we het binnen onze landsgrenzen uittesten
Bruxelles
Une capitale avec son port international ET ses plages ET ses fôrets d'épineux ET ses jardins ....
Facilités pour tous les Belges : Bruxelles est la solution et non le problème !
Bruxelles ne peut devenir une monnaie d'échange mais doit rester un modèle d'échange : interculturel et multilingue.
A l'heure des replis communautaires, à chacun de faire son Michemin et d'envisager Bruxelles comme une capitale possible : celle d'une Europe misant sur la pluralité des identités.
Bruxelles est le meilleur modèle à exporter...commençons par le faire à l'intérieur de nos frontières.
