An eternal indulgence for a sinful airport

Press/Media: Expert Comment

Description

Article for the Belgian (Flemish) newspaper De Standaard. Even though the Antwerp airport is steeped in fraud and illegal activities, the Flemish government is inclined to grant it an 'eternal allowance'. This is reminiscent of the way the Catholic Church sold tickets to heaven for the rich and powerful by means of its illustrious indulgences.
