“Though several hundred people lined up to greet Philippe, who ascended to the throne in July after his father’s abdication, an equally big crowd of republican separatists massed nearby shouting ‘Death to Belgium’ and waving the Flemish flag.  Antwerp, Europe’s second biggest port located in the northern region of Flanders, is home to the powerful Flemish separatist N-VA party whose leader Bart De Wever won election as city mayor last year.  Philippe and Mathilde are currently visiting Belgium under a medieval tradition that calls for new sovereigns to make ‘a joyous entry’ into the country’s major towns, and Friday’s protest was the first of its kind so far.”
