RoofGardener Posted December 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Belgium's Prime Minister has been forced to resign following his signing of the UN Migration Pact. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-46611320 It appears that many regard the UN Migration Pact as being an encouragement to economic migration, and there where violent protests in Belgiumshire over the weekend. Sales of Atlases around the world skyrocketed, as people flocked to try and work out where Belgium actually IS ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware, however, that Poland (and Hungary) are NOT having their "EU voting rights" suspended. They are merely being suspended from the European Network of Councils for the Judiciary. This is NOT an organ of the EU.. it's more like an international private members debating club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
