Eddy Posthuma de Boer - Photo: "Hands off Brussels" (March on Brussels) - Sold

Photo by Eddy Posthuma de Boer of "the march on Brussels": "March on Brussels" refers to two historic Flemish protest marches in Brussels. The first took place on October 22, 1961 and the second on October 14, 1962. These marches were organized by the Flemish Action Committee for Brussels and the Language Border (VABT) as a protest against the planned language legislation and the establishment of the language border by the Lefèvre-Spaak government. An important demand was also "Brussels-bilingual".
The marches were a reaction to the government's plans and Walloon opposition to Flemish demands. The Gilson law, which established the language border, was approved in October 1962, and the Val Hertoginnedal agreement followed in July 1963.
The marches attracted thousands of participants and were an important event in the Flemish Movement and the discussion about the language border in Belgium
