Belgium is a really sick country. Sick of its voluntary complexity, sick of its corruption. When you see that we are fortunate
to have 9 ministers of health in such a small country (yes, nine !) and not to mention the other aberrations, you cannot help but be dismayed.
And when you see how part of the country's archives are handled, you cannot help but be revolted.
Today's visit takes us to a scientific site formerly managed by the national government, and since this stupid regionalization by the
Walloon region. If part of the site is still sometimes used, the buildings visited today have been abandoned for ten years, with all they
contain. Thus, we find on the floor many archives and maps, some of which date back to the 19th century.
We recognize a sick society by the way it treats its history...
