You have been warned
If you’re planning a trip to Belgium in the near future you might want to avoid the town of Kruibeke, south of Antwerp. The mayor, bless him, has set up a Department of Tenderness to “encourage people to be nicer to each other”.
Kruibeke mayor Antoine Denert, who allocates civic duties, said he would make it his personal responsibility. “People don’t cuddle anymore and that’s the reason why there are so many conflicts,” he told Het Laatste Nieuws. “I will set an example and start in my own village by caressing, cuddling and kissing as many people as possible.”
People of Kruibeke - you have been warned…
