 Subject: LL-L Orbituary

Our former federal minister Daerden died last week in France.
This will end the series of clips regularely published on YouTube.

Daerden was a professional auditor before entering in politics, and judged
by his collegues as extremely intelligent.
He just liked Belgian beer a little bit more than most of us.

He was French speaking and had some problems with reading texts in Dutch,
as e.g. for this case in the parliament:

He also suffered from a swollen tongue from time to time when speaking on
the French language TV.

 Belgian culture will hardly be as it was before.

Regards,
Roger
