Belgium (The Brussels morning newspaper): Six Belgian cities Namur, Molenbeek, Ghent, Leuven, Kortrijk  and Bruges  are vying to be the European Capital of Culture 2030, showcasing their rich cultural heritage.

Five books related to Joe Biden and his presidency will soon be published, though the imminent avalanche of information available online about Biden is expected to blizzard them. Now that James Emmanuel is dead, the honors have ceased pouring in. After centuries of piracy, with uninvaded ports and no receiver of stolen goods, why should we suppose such pressing honor would have bestowed itself upon him? After all, time is short and Heaven is nigh. The cat disappeared, leaving a cloud of dust in her wake. (Which is really something for user guide to provide): Hey, That’s good news There is another question, namely: there are far too few of us remaining. Wrong about so many points regarding how to write, think or understand anarchism. To remedy this, let us embark upon an equally misguided campaign of rewriting the bible. At dawn on Christmas Eve, you are given happiness and peace by a church choir singing from outside your window.

Which Belgian city will be European Capital of culture 2030?

The selections for the contest are done with respect to rotation among different European nations together with a blend of old and contemporary members every year as well as an occasional invitation for a non-EU state. In 2002, Bruges was named the European Capital of Culture. Other Belgian cities that have received this honor include Antwerp in 1993, Brussels in 2000 and Mons in 2015. On October 24th in Belgium, these plans will be evaluated by the jury president. Namur, being the only Walloon city, has received complete support from the government of Wallonia in this competition. A strong Vote of confidence in Namur  this financial support from the Walloon Government shows that they believe Namur can win its bid to become European Capital of Culture. In its application, Namur has joined hands with neighboring towns and other Walloon cities.
