🔪 Confession

The nation is grappling with the shocking confession of a wife who admitted to killing her husband eight years ago, whose body was discovered buried in their own garden. This grim revelation has gripped public attention. Meanwhile, concerns are mounting over a booming black market in aesthetic medicine, including illegal botox and filler treatments, and a significant increase in fuel price fraud impacting consumers. The Belgian economy is also under scrutiny, with an analysis pointing to zero economic growth, low reserves, and rising interest rates. In other news, the influence of lobbyists on policy-making has been highlighted, and on World First Aid Day, a report underscored the lack of essential first aid skills among many Belgians. On a more positive note, the first night train service between Brussels and Milan in 23 years has commenced operations.
