Well fuck the commission. Belgium and Euroclear cannot be forced to commit an illegal act and risk bankrupting our country for the sake of a random country. We’re already spending the tax revenue coming from those assets on Ukraine and can just as well stop that if they keep threatening the future of our nation.

It’s a NO go. Ursula can cry about it. It won’t happen

I know it is not a popular opinion but lets give the Russians back there money! (Maybe not now but when the war ends).

Are they going to keep propose using other people’s assets because nobody wants to fork up some money themselves? I’m sure BDW doesn’t mind saying no again a couple of times extra. This is why nobody cares about Europe on the geopolitical level, they don’t achieve anything, the EU is just the world’s biggest debating club.

Ahhh, so fuck Belgium in the ass basically? Wtf

So
– Still no guarantees to protect Belgium, just pushing the issue to the future (“we’ll share the burden, pinky promise”)
– Not using Russian assets located in other EU countries, only Euroclear
– No non-Euro country involved (which the ECB strongly requested to protect the stability of the euro)
– For a “loan” which will never be paid back.
Germans are foaming at the mouth to get their hands on their money before the US can. So it can be pumped into the german war industry.
Now, where will we get money to fund the reconstruction of Ukraine when the war is over and the Russian money have been spent?
Fuck these EU idiots

Am I the only one who believes Politico is reporting quite a lot on this? Their wording feels pretty biased to boot.

The EU’s specialty, self-destruction.

Misleading clickbait title as usual. Copying from the same article:
>The European Commission is ***proposing*** a reparations loan of €165 billion for Ukraine using the cash value of frozen Russian state assets held in Belgium, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
>…
>
>The main stumbling block remains ***the Belgian government’s opposition*** to the loan.

>”The text the Commission will table today does not address our concerns in a satisfactory manner,” Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot told reporters on Wednesday morning on the margins of a NATO meeting. “We have the frustrating feeling of not having been heard.”
Never thought I’d say this, but thank you Bart for not doing this
