SEVEN PARLIAMENTS IN BELGIUM

YELLOW  - Flemish and Walloon
RED - French
BLUE - German

BBC report reveals an unbelievable situation in Belgium. Not only do they have different language such as Flemish, French, Dutch, Walloon and Champenois to cope with but have seven different Parliaments.

It is this complex system that attracts extremists because it is easier to live there amongst their people without being detected.

A further advantage Belgium is bordered by four countries and with Schenken open borders makes it easy to slip in and out.

There are many EU institutes based especially in Brussels makes it Europe’s diplomatic and military centre, include NATO.

Brussels is also known for international illegal arms trade.

Belgium immigration began after the WW2. It needed workers for its coal and steel industry. The real reason lies in Belgium’s complex and almost a ludicrous administration attracting extremists.

Not only do they have six different original native languages with lots different structures but they also do not pass on information.

There are also six different police zones across and 18 different boroughs in Brussels with 19 different mayors which do not help the security of the country. The security is very small in comparison to other European countries and in need of intelligence officers is obvious.

Belgium has also seven different Parliaments because of so many different nationalities. Even the small German-speaking community has it own Parliament.

Despite of this entire drawback it is amazing and greatly to be admired that they were able to detect one of the Paris bombers and arrest him but also identify the bombers from the Brussels’ airport as well as the Metro.

BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner said: “One is they are not sharing intelligence with the right people. So the spooks aren’t passing on enough information to the Belgian police. They don’t trust them.

“The other problem is that they have really rubbish community relations. Look at the reaction when they went in and caught that guy on Friday night (Salah Abdeslam).

“Instead of the local people going ‘Oh my God, this is so embarrassing you’ve caught a terrorist in our midst’ they threw bottles at the police.

Belgium, according to the statistics, has the highest trained fighters in Western Europe.
