BfB or how ignoring the will congress and selling a CP medal is daily routine.

Dear Readers of eBelgium, dear citizens
Today BfB has once again shown its true colours.
A few weeks ago ThomasRed proposed in congress that we SELL (yes SELL!!!!!!) our presidential medal. Yes, you heard me right, Thomasred is willing to sell our democracy, selling the good work of others, selling everything we've been doing since belgium became independent, for a handful of gold. HE IS WILLING TO TURN US INTO THE LAUGHING STOCK OF E-WORLD FOR A HANDFUL ON MONEY.
There are no other words for this then pure Treason, pure Corruption.
Now if this where to remain a proposal or just an idea, then ok. No problem. And if the majority of eBelgians on congress would have agreed with this, then again, no problem.
BUT THIS ISN'T THE CASE!!!!
A vote was held in congress and a majority voted AGAINSTthis ridiculous plan. Congress had clearly spoken.
And yet, without notifying anyone, nor even informing congress about this, ThomasRED and Apothygma have, behind the backs of congress and the eBelgium public, still proposed the french candidate for BfB candidate (AlphaMFPEFM_Z). (see: here for more information
Not only is this a real slap in the face for ppl like Thore who have actually campaigned for eBelgium, who have put their time and money in this running and who have the interest of eBelgium in mind, this is also a straight forward attack on democracy, our freedoms, our congress and everything we've achieved
I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS!!
Proud people of Belgium, plz say no these dictators and vote for Thore Thoreson on election day tomorrow. The only Belgium candidate that actually wants to work for Belgium in stead of just being after the Medal.
VOTE THORE, VOTE AGAINST CORRUPTION

I'm shadowukcs and I'm disgusted by this act of treason
" a majority voted against" i dont call one vote more a majority.
voted, disgusting indeed
Danny: 52% is a majority. You don't need to be a math genius to know that. That's how democracy works.
Disgusting!
actually its 12-12 that means a draw 😉
but i do agree they should have waited until after the vote and depending on how it went
Every other medal has lost it's value already from people buying or being given them by governments. The CP medal is the only one left with a tiny amount of prestige and that is soon to be destroyed.
I feel ashamed at the Belgian flag on my avitar.
This shows the contempt some people have for the citizens of Belgium. While I was in Congress, I kept asking why we were never told who their "candidate" was and could never get an answer. I guess in some people's eyes, the "little people" don't need to know what is going on.
I wish to say "Thank you for selling out our Country" to those in the ruling elite.
It is a sad day in Belgium when our greatest institution is bought and sold on the open market.
Belgium For Belgians ... Belgians ? What kind of Belgian sells his country ?
Despicable!
It is indeed not what we want to happen to our country. Counter this action by voting for Thore!
How can a party call itself Belgium for Belgians and list a fake french candidate for our presidency. Shame on them and I do hope their members will NOT take this.
Leave the party and send a clear message that this kind of stuff is NOT tolerated!
Impeachment?
Truth be told.
excellent article.
I was against it as well not all BfB members suported this.
@Xgentis,
I commend you for straying from your party on this issue. But you should recognize that staying with the BfB now should be in doubt. There's always Res Belgica, and the FB would always love to have you! 🙂
I am a Res Belgica member now.
Same as Xgentis , i have also joined Res Belgica , BfB really messed up with the CP medal , and now they'm gonna try and put somebody we haven't even heard of in control , let alone spoke to.
Impeachment against who? Me? I didn't do anything wrong. lol.
So where does the buck stop? It was a member of your cabinet who came up with all this.
300g > thore not having his medal and 24hours without a president who cant do anything
Ah, the intrigues of politics. The agenda of the current president has been clear for some time now but the congress has been slow to follow. Methinks that ornery is truly a Belgian national characteristic; so I too have stopped being independent of all parties and have joined Res Belgica as well.
It's so much easier to cry treason and put on a show of being disgusted than it is to do something productive for our country.
We are talking about 24 hours without a CP. For a whole whackload of gold.
300 gold > 24 hours without a CP
And when the gold is all gone, we'll still have the same issue of not having any funds. Are we going to sell our Congressional and PP elections too? I do not see any real fixes to our problem in this plan.
Again, instead of finding sources of income for Belgium, you just criticize other peoples' ideas.
When you thought we'd do it all the time, you said it sets a bad precedent.
Now that you know we're only doing it once, you complain that this is not a long-term solution.
Ultimately, someone thought of a way to make 300 gold for our country, and all you can do is criticize.
It's this constant strugggle and incessant crushing of initiative that got me sick of Belgian politics.
Down with BfB, what king of person sell out their own country.
one thing u could do is set the BEF peg. a quick glance at the MM showed offers ranging from 0.016 to 0.018 on the front page only. a guy that has enough gold to buy the presidency would probably have enough gold to ruin the value of BEF.
Another thing you could do is raise taxes. im a US citizen and we have taxes set at 23%. idk why you guys dont raise them but if its because of retenetion then the US wouldnt have any citizens, and if its to attract businesses any smart businessman can easily evade taxes.
idk what the current state of the belgian economy is as im not a belgian or a congressman, but theres a whole bunch of things u can do to raise gold other than sell the presidency.
Anyone who calls themself Belgium and proposes this is only out for their own...
Curious since the COngress voted NO where the gold will go now?
Nobody sell Belgium (exepted americans secret service).
Some people sell a medal.
It's not exactly the same.
We need gold to regulate the MM, hence the fundraising efforts.
Raising taxes hurts our citizens and doesn't raise Gold, only BEF which as a government we have lots more of.
It's a game people... stop being stubborn and dare to take some risks. What do you have to lose?
Or... continue like that and soon eBelgium will be a empty country, thanks to you.
When will you stop flaming about BfB? Grow up baby-Shadowucks! You must be ashamed to use gold to make publicity to leave BfB. You are pathetic and a shame for this country, no, for whole eRepublic!
