Tom Van Grieken Just Now

The sender wrote that people were rightly concerned about their future and had questions about the direction of the country.

The author wrote that under Bart De Wever, new asylum centers continued to be opened and that the government paid up to 2.3 million euros in rent per center. The author asked how this could be reconciled with the announced strictest migration policy ever and a stop on asylum, and stated that it was high time for change. #asiel #migratie #België #BE (translated)

The author wrote that a Catholic university had allowed Islamic chants to be heard during an Eucharistic celebration and called that an upside-down world. According to the author, there was nothing wrong with being proud of one's own culture and Christian traditions. The author also started a sentence about KU Leuven and its Catholic identity, but that sentence remained unfinished. https://t.co/Bbko3EKjZa #cultuur #traditie #identiteit #BE (translated)

The Flemish Interest reported that it launched the campaign 'Safety for and by the police' that day, aimed at more protection and respect for officers. The party referred to the murder of police officer Nordine as an example of the dangers that police officers, according to them, faced and called for an end to what they described as a policy of turning a blind eye. https://t.co/buko9tA8Fu #Veiligheid #Politie #VlaamsBelang #BE (translated)

The author wrote that everyone that day was "Nordine." He called it a new, sad low point in what he saw as the increasing violence against police officers and others who wore a uniform. He said he had signed the condolence register as chairman of Vlaams Belang, but mainly as the son of a police officer. https://t.co/Zj2cO5KTmq #respectvooragenten #veiligheid #solidariteit #NL (translated)

The author argued that implementing sound socio-economic policy in Belgium was difficult due to the significant differences in economic reality between Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. According to the author, structural problems required structural solutions, and limited patchwork was not enough to get the country in order. https://t.co/k5VUGaEieX #België #Economie #SociaalBeleid #BE (translated)

The author stated that the government took more than half of every 100 euros that people earned, while the government failed to get the budget in order. Instead of addressing taxpayers again, the De Wever government should, according to the author, tackle its own spending. https://t.co/5Ath8LKqiO #belasting #overheid #uitgaven #Be #NL (translated)

The author wrote that Flemings constituted 60% of the population, paid 70% of the taxes, and accounted for 80% of the exports. According to the author, these figures raised the question of why the affordability of pensions and social security was constantly under discussion. The author also wrote that Flanders finally had to take charge of that itself. https://t.co/xAxz5CZF6l #Vlaanderen #Belastingen #Pensioenen #BE (translated)

The author congratulated Francis Halzen from Tienen on the Nobel Prize in Physics and referred to him as a Flemish person at the world top.

The author wrote that both people who received papers and those who did not stayed in the country. According to his estimates, there were 200,000 people without residence documents. In the best case, they ended up in the black market, according to the author; in the worst case, they were exploited by drug gangs and slum landlords. The author described that situation as inhumane. https://t.co/YbRCxRwLf7 #immigratie #mensenrechten #illegaal #NL (translated)

AfD wins in Germany, Salvini is governing in Italy, FPÖ is breaking records in the polls, and Le Pen is ready to govern France. Change is possible. Here too. We want a safe and prosperous Flanders where our children are headed for a better future. https://t.co/QkeqnLJTPw #Vlaanderen #Politiek #Verandering #DE #IT #AT #FR (translated)

We stand behind our police officers. They are doing their best, but they see the criminals and illegal immigrants they catch simply being released again afterwards. Wouldn't that make a person feel hopeless? They do their job. They deserve much more respect from the political world. https://t.co/Yt510MNdXJ #politie #respect #veiligheid #NL #BE (translated)

[OPSPORING] De politie is op zoek naar de 39-jarige Smail Oeunnas. Hij is levensgevaarlijk en wordt verdacht van moord. Ondanks zijn internering, mocht hij op 7 augustus de psychiatrische instelling Les Marronniers in Doornik verlaten. Onvoorstelbaar. Minder verrassend: de man https://t.co/zOPKrpRwoI #politie #moord #verdachte #BE
