Brussels Correspondent - It is a beautiful chapter of the "Belgian stories" that has been written by the STIB, the company that manages the urban transport network in Brussels. Wednesday, May 25, she said it was sticking to the broadcasting of songs in English, Italian and Spanish in the hallways of the subway.
To meet the "linguistic peace" and not have to choose between French and Dutch, the two official languages of the only bilingual region of the kingdom ... This stunning revelation followed an operation to promote new album Lady Gaga in the underground corridors the STIB. It has led some to question the policy of the company for his choice of music.
They discovered that occasion a short selection experiment in an international hit parade had the big disadvantage of penalizing the songs in Dutch. STIB, referred by various complaints, had therefore decided not to francophone artists as well as Dutch. At least they sing in English or another language, of course ...
One elected socialist French pleaded for allowances: 10% French, 10% in Dutch and the rest in other languages. The Chair (Flemish ecologist) Board accepts the predominance of English, but felt that the rest must be shared equitably between the two national languages - for the occasion, we can do without the third, German ...
The Regional Minister of guardianship, Brigitte Grouwels (Flemish Christian democrat) was mixed with the part: she said STIB understand who wants to remain "neutral" but she asks him to spread mostly Belgian artists, they sing French or Dutch. This important issue will appear next to the menu board of BITS with the objective of "further improve the satisfaction rate" of users, which express at 85% approval of the current choices of background noise in stations subway.
It should be noted, it is often inaudible. As proof, the fact that it took an official to determine what language the air broadcast. The controversy has, in any case, forget another, following a reform of the Minister Brigitte Grouwels. This Flemish staunch intends to impose on all taxis in the city to decorate the sides of their car from an unsightly yellow band.
And as most taxis are black, and they will wear the colors of the flag of Flanders. In a country in political chaos, the deals as we can. Jean-Pierre Stroobants
