no-speak zone in the center of brussels
Reader comment on item: Does Europe Have No-go Zones?
in response to reader comment: No-go zones
Submitted by myth (Germany), Jan 24, 2015 at 07:00
Jean-Paul, let me add that Brussels traditionally would be a Flemish-Dutch speaking part of Belgium. North-African immigrants combined with a minor contribution by the EU-institutions changed the language in the center of the city to French. For the Flemish part of the population Brussels city center turned at least into a "no-speak-zone" a long time ago.
