We
had a very dramatic day in Brussels. The bombs at the airport and in the
subway, at the beginning of the working hours, have shaken everyone. They had a
major political and economic impact. But they will not make us become less
tolerant. From where I stand, I can say that people have shown a lot of
restraint. They were certainly deeply shocked. However, they have not fallen into
any kind of xenophobic reaction or racist mood. That basically means that the
terrorists have been able to hurt all of us but they cannot change our way of
life, they will not win. We, here in Brussels, are used to a very diverse city
and will continue to appreciate that diversity. That´s the world of today.
Theirs is a world of a very distant and barbaric past.
