In France there is no anymosity about Belgium. Just stupid
jokes! But it's not recent. And two of favourite French
singers are Belgium: Janques Brel and Johnny Halliday.

Dear
Dave,
>In 2 of these movies characters made comments about
how they hate
Belgium. A question for the European members of the
groups--is their some sort of animosity brewing among other
European countries these days against Belgium?<
I am not sure but I could imagine that there are some
confusions because of the dispute between Flemings and
Walloons. For further information please click the following

The head line of the article is Belgium's "War of the
Worlds".
Another hard chapter is the case of the Belgian paedophile
Marc Dutroux who has been found "guilty of abduction, rape
and murder". There are a lot of open questions concerning the
involvment of other persons (international network?) and the
number of legal and procedural errors during the
investigation.
