La Gaffe: Belgium’s Yves Leterme Forgets His Lines

by | 24th, July 2007

GOD save our greatest regime:

The man expected to become Belgium’s next prime minister has caused a stir by singing the French national anthem when asked to sing the Belgian one.

Yves Leterme, head of the Flemish Christian Democrats, broke into La Marseillaise instead of Belgium’s La Brabanconne on the national day.

His gaffe was filmed by Belgian RTBF television, as he was about to attend a church service in Brussels on Saturday.

Dutch- and French-speaking politicians are struggling to form a new coalition.
