    I was in Brussels today and the area I was at today was fine... I suppose with only a few small papers and cigarettes on the ground everywhere... But as I went to a neighbourhood that had steep roads... I was absolutely mind-boggled. There were rubbish bag piles almost everywhere on the ground you could land your eyes on, hundreds of cigarettes scattered everywhere on the ground, there was graffiti all over the walls of the buildings and the poles and the shops were in very poor condition.

    Molenbeek is NOT multicultural. It's mostly north African

    This huge gap between rich and poor is everywhere in Europe. Both in West and East. Wild capitalism with no regard for merits. Just urge for money
  • Underfunded schools is a shame for such a developed nation as Belgium. A that there’s a chance for an adult not to receive a school diploma…. just terrible. We’ll never solve poverty without a good school system
  • @CuracaoRevisited
    speaking only French and having no interest in either Dutch or English does not help either (unemployment in Flanders is on a record low)

    Every time media talk of "multiculturalism" and "diversity" you see those pictures that looks like they could have been from Baghdad or central Africa. No Asians, no South Americans, no Latino, no western Europeans or even native Belgians in sight. It seems to me like a single culture is still dominating the others in our little diverse utopia, its just no longer the native peoples culture.
  • @Hoppenoffer
    These news articles about poverty are missing the commentary of the rich who are causing the poverty.
  • @duncansmith7562
    The Mollenbeek crowd just need to observe how Asian immigrants do it, with their work ethic and stable family backgrounds and dedication to learning,
