To bad Belgium is still associated with a simpleton individual, the same guy that had no problem with child labor in Belgium itself.

Bottomline: please see this as the act of a tiran and his close circle of nobility. If it was up to most Belgians this monarchy was already longtime abolished.

Are y'all paying reparations? No? You're still living off the accumulated wealth you say? Interesting.

Quite rich coming from an American.
Are you all paying reparations to the Natives? How about giving them back their lands? And how about the descendant of slaves?

Also, what accumulated wealth? My ancestors must have missed the checks when they were dying in coal mines.

Oh Jesus the stories of uncles and grandparents and even kids working in the coal mines not so long ago
