Like every year, the Limburg city of Tongeren-Borgloon offers 3,000 fairground bands for 20 euros each. With such a band, the youth can enjoy the fair unlimited on Monday. However, the local Vlaams Belang department has bought 20 bands to distribute to “Flemish families who are struggling”. And that makes many eyebrow frowns. “I am not behind this, the bands are for everyone,” responds Krijn Henrotte (CD&V), competent ships of economics. At Vlaams Belang they don’t really understand the commotion.
