What happens
the French leader and the German leader have met in Berlin to discuss the political and strategic situation in Central Europe. While details from the meeting are scarce, and no official communiqué has been released, observers have noted a clear shift in French and German rhetoric and policy towards the Benelux countries. Where the German minority in Belgium was once a constant drumbeat for German propaganda, it is now only mentioned in passing, while noting that Belgium is "an artificial construct, not a nation; merely a collection of nations thrown together haphazardly" and putting great emphasis on the large French-speaking population.
