Welcome to the land of useless constructions. The half-finished bridge, the motorway that stops in a meadow, the metro that was never used, ... an endless list of useless structures that have absorbed billions of taxpayers' money. Surreal Belgium at its best. Visible consequences of the waffle-iron policy of then-unitary Belgium, of the fanatical building fever of every Belgian, whether he speaks Flemish or French, of old and less old political culture. Silent witnesses of a "yes, we can" mentality decades before this quote conquered our collective memory.
