| Message | There is only one answer to that question. It isn't. We've understood that Lusitania had a strong and lasting tradition of what we feel was excessive patriotism. Our plan is to take issues that are more sentimental and deeply ingrained, one step a time. Judging by the current political opinions we are convinced that a gradual change on this particular issue is appropriate. Our policy is naturally not playing the anthem at all in schools. Guy Verhofstadt. |
