In the Jubelpark in Brussels (the name refers to the jubilation of 50 years of Belgian independence), beneath the triumphal arch, American ambassador Bill White hosted a party on Sunday evening to celebrate 250 years of the United States. The fireworks during that event are now the subject of an investigation by the Federal government’s directorate of buildings, after damage was observed on Monday morning. According to Het Nieuwsblad, the damage includes the roof and the building’s cornices. Remnants of fireworks material were found on the roofs, and the roofing shows blackened spots in several areas. Additionally, a statue was slightly damaged. Minister Vanessa Matz (Les Engagés), responsible for the directorate of buildings, urges calm in the newspaper. An initial investigation is being conducted to determine whether the damage could have been caused by the heavy thunderstorm that swept over Brussels on Saturday night. “I immediately asked the Directorate of Buildings to go on-site to objectively assess any damage resulting from the event or the storm last weekend,” Matz stated.
