Fascinating stats on COVID infection rates by commune in Bxl. Berchem and Anderlecht >50% above Bruxelles-ville and St-Gilles (which I would have thought had most internationally mobile pops). St-Josse and Schaerbeek well below average. politico.eu/article/corona…

I agree with @lesoir’s David Coppi that the PS and progressives in general should beware of “2008 syndrome”, where they excite themselves with big ambitions for the post-crisis world but get mugged by a narrative of austerity and deregulation. plus.lesoir.be/298258/article…
Which isn’t to say that the ambitions are wrong, but this time around they need to be sure they can implement them. In Belgium’s current political situation, it’s not an easy task.

My discovery today (via @lesoir) is that there is a Belgian e-books store linked to a network of independent bookshops, with (on a quick skim) all the big French-language titles: librel.be

Spitzenkandidaten. La trahison de Verhofstadt et du centre | Fabien l’Européen buff.ly/2DBnTKw < hard to disagree. The Spitz system isn’t much, but it is something, and so for ALDE to dump it for a romp in the hay with Macron is very short-termist.

The retail apocalypse hits Belgium. Agree with @comeos_fr that the online offer in Belgium is poor, and retailers need a level playing field versus online. But it’s about innovation not tax cuts: En baisse structurelle, le commerce crie à l’aide plus.lesoir.be/190526/article…
