Hé, pssst, Di Rupo, zie eens hier… Geplaatst op 17 oktober 2013 door Marieke July is a month pregnant with historical significance for Flanders and the United States: July 4th (1776) is the U.S. Independence Day and July 11th (1302) is the Flemish Feast Day. Less directly on July 26th (1581) the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe (the “Act of Abjuration”) was promulgated. It is this last reference most to which the United States owes a debt of its independence to Flanders http://flemishamerican.blogspot.be/
