Subject: Language politics

Op teletekst van de VRT gezien en in het journaal van VTM vanavond
gehoord:

De Vlaamse minister-president Dewael ligt in open conflict met de
ambassadeur van Nederland in België.

Dewael had de ambassades in Brussel aangeschreven dat "Nederlands de
taal van 60 percent der Belgen is", en de ambassades vriendelijk
verzocht "het nodige te doen om in het Nederlands te kunnen
communiceren".

De ambassadeur van Nederland heeft daarop verklaard dat het gebruik van
het Nederlands een intern-Belgische aangelegenheid is, en dat voor de
anbassades Duits, Frans en Engels volstaan.

Wordt vervolgd (denk ik)

Groetjes,

Roger
