Wish is my nationality?

Julho 17, 2008
I was born in Portugal, I live in the Flanders and my grandfather was born in Germany… well, I feel myself Portuguese-Flemish-German, can anyone understand this? But I also feel myself a citizen of all the Portuguese and Dutch speaking countries, so I guess that I am a World Citizen. Where should I go to get an ID?

Duitstaligen willen eigen gewest

Julho 12, 2008

"Er is geen compromis mogelijk tussen Vlamingen en Walen als beide groepen hun taboes niet in twijfel trekken en als er niemand als verliezer tegen de wand wordt gedrukt." Dat heeft Karl-Heinz Lambertz, minister-president van de Duitstalige gemeenschap verklaard tijdens zijn rede naar aanleiding van het Feest van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap in het Brugse stadhuis. De Duitstaligen willen ook een eigen gewest.
Pol Van Den Driessche, voorzitter van het Brugse 11 Juli-komitee en CD&V-senator, had Karl-Heinz Lambertz uitgenodigd op de academische zitting.
RTBF-reportage
Zelf zei Van Den Driessche dat de volgende dagen cruciaal zijn. "Jarenlang mocht over het communautaire vraagstuk niet worden gesproken. Vandaag bepaalt het terug de politieke agenda. Maar het is niet omdat in een reportage op de RTBF de treinen stoppen aan de taalgrens, dat dit ook in werkelijkheid zo zal zijn. Ook de fabrieken zullen niet plots sluiten en de economie zal niet in elkaar storten."
Van Den Driessche zei ook dat hij onder geen beding zal aanvaarden dat Brussel wordt uitgebreid. Als de Franstaligen dat niet willen, dan dreigt er volgens de senator inderdaad een institutionele crisis.
Geen macht
Karl-Heinz Lambertz vertelde dat de Duitstalige Gemeenschap geen macht heeft om zich te mengen in de institutionele hervormingen. "Wij zijn afhankelijk van de steun en het begrip, van de concrete solidariteit en de vriendschappelijke verbondenheid met Vlaanderen", sprak Lambertz die de Vlamingen bedankte omdat zonder de Vlaamse beweging de Duitstalige Gemeenschap er niet zou zijn.
Minister-president Lambertz wees erop dat het hele territorium van de Duitstalige Gemeenschap tegelijk behoort tot het Waalse Gewest. "Het Waalse Gewest oefent in het Duitse taalgebied zodoende bevoegdheden uit die de Duitse Gemeenschap graag zelf zou beheren", sprak Lambertz. Hij stipte in het bijzonder ruimtelijke ordening, huisvestiging en provincies aan.
Eigen gewest
"Wij willen naast Vlaanderen, Brussel en Wallonië ook een eigen gewest. Alhoewel we dat niet absoluut en onmiddellijk opeisen, gelooft de Duitstalige Gemeenschap dat zij principieel in staat is alle bevoegdheden zelfstandig uit te oefenen.
Over de federale Belgische staat zei Lambertz dat deze enkel zal overleven indien bijkomende verantwoordelijkheid aan de deelstaten worden overgedragen en indien er een nieuw groot compromis tussen Vlamingen en Franstaligen tot stand komt. "Daartoe kunnen de Duitstaligen als kleine minderheid in ons land niets essentieels bijdragen. Het compromis moeten Vlamingen en Franstaligen zelf vinden. Daarom beperk ik mij ook tot wat overwegingen, maar zie ik af van welgemeende raad." (belga/sps)

Kalitta Air – a new crash

Julho 8, 2008

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A rose-laden U.S. cargo plane headed for Miami crashed before dawn Monday near Colombia’s capital, killing a father and son in their home on the ground, Colombian aviation officials said.

None of the plane’s eight U.S. crew members were reported dead, although a hospital director said one was in serious condition. It was the second time in six weeks that a Boeing 747 flown by Ypsilanti, Michigan-based Kalitta Air has crashed.

U.S. investigators were en route to Colombia to assist in a government inquiry into the cause of the crash, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said.

The plane’s crew told air traffic controllers early Monday that one of its engines had caught fire and radio contact was lost seconds later, said Donald Tascon, deputy director of Colombia’s civil aviation agency.

At 3:50 am (4:50 a.m. EDT; 0850 GMT), the jet attempted an emergency landing and crashed onto a ranch about 15 miles (25 kilometers) northwest of Bogota, said aviation officials and Diego Humberto Sicard, mayor of Madrid, the small village hit.

The plane split apart and its tail smashed into a ranch home, killing Pedro Suarez, 50, and his 13-year-old son Edwin, according to the mayor and aviation official Tascon.

The plane had stopped in Bogota to pick up flowers — one of Colombia’s biggest exports — and was scheduled to land in Miami, Kalitta Air Vice President Pete Sanderlin said.

“All of the crew on board had various injuries, from slight to more serious,” he told The Associated Press.

Two crew members were treated at a Madrid hospital, while six others were sent to the Central Police Hospital in Bogota. One, identified as Joseph Kendall, had his spleen removed and was recuperating, hospital director Col. Nader Lujan told reporters.

Kalitta had been operating the plane for another airline, Centurion Air Cargo, Sanderlin said. A woman who answered the phone at Centurion’s office in Miami referred questions to Kalitta.

Five investigators from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, will join other Americans from the Federal Aviation Administration, aircraft-maker Boeing Co. and engine-maker Pratt & Whitney in assisting the Colombian probe, NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said from Washington. Pratt & Whitney is a unit of United Technologies Corp.

Another Kalitta-operated Boeing 747 crashed and broke apart in Brussels, Belgium, on May 25 as pilots tried to abort a takeoff, U.S. and Belgian authorities have said. All five crew members survived that incident, too, although four were slightly injured.

The crash also marked the second time two days that a cargo line based at Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti has crashed in Latin America.

A DC-9-15 freighter operated by USA Jet Airlines crashed early Sunday while nearing the airport in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. The pilot of the plane, 46-year-old Lon McIntosh of Middletown, Ohio, died, according to his family and Mexican officials.

Associated Press writers Sarah Larimer in Miami and David N. Goodman in Detroit contributed to this report.
