No Yankee Cars: The Anti-American Road Show
Car dealers importing American cars in Belgium are on the brink of bankruptcy. For the past three months the Belgian government has been refusing to deliver the required safety certificates for the cars. Since 1 September companies importing non-European cars must be able to show European certificates guaranteeing the safety of the cars.
The Belgian authorities are making no problems for Japanese, Korean or other non-American cars, but are refusing to give safety certificates for Dodges, GMCs, Chevrolets, Chryslers, Lincolns and other American car brands. Belgian dealers can import the cars via Germany, where the certificates are delivered without any fuss, but this costs them up to an additional 3,000 euros per car – a surplus which they do not like to inflict on their customers.

Renaat Landuyt, the Socialist Belgian minister of Mobility, told the paper: “It is a matter of road safety. I will make no concessions.” Landuyt maintained that the fact that his administration is slow “proves that my people take their job seriously. One cannot be too cautious in matters regarding safety.”
SideBear: When I read an article like this it makes me cringe. Who does this moron think he is kidding with his safety certificates B.S. it is purely a statement by this Socialist against America. This is not about free trade or product safety and certainly whether America sells a few thousand more cars more or less has no bearing on our economy.
What it means to me and many others is fighting the ‘Battle of the Bulge’ in Belgium why many American boys gave up their lives to free Europe from the Nazis in World War II for an ingrate Mr. Landuyt is. As the Prez said, “Either your with us or against us” and there is not doubt in my mind on which side Mr. Landuyt is on.
What is double troubling to me is the safety net of freedom that America provides for a country like Belgium with our military and money and this is the kind of thanks you get. Next time call France.
