The fine amount would probably cover the monthly wage, including employer taxes, of a policeman. When the city budget is stretched so thin, why not grab the low hanging fruit?

Thank you Meta for suggesting "you might also like"..., but no thanks. I did have a peek inside, though. Truly depressing garbage curated by Eric Sax. Anti Fedasil, anti-GoodMove (yes, still, even if never implemented in Uccle), anti-ecolo (of course), anti-tout. Pro-Waterloo (bcz free parking).

Belgian's PM goes full Orban and wants to strike a deal with Putin: cheap gas in exchange for freezing the line. "We must end the conflict in Europe's interest. Without being naive about Putin." If he were a historian, he would know making deals with Russia is the very definition of being naive.

De Wever calls for 'normalisation' of relations with Russia and says EU must strike deal over Ukraine
"In private, European leaders tell me I'm right, but no one dares to say it out loud," said De Wever in an interview with L'Echo.

A Shahed drone has a distinct triangular shape and narrow, straight wings. At the back, there's a small propeller engine which gives off a shrill buzz, a sound often compared to a moped or chainsaw.
