Algún interesado en comprar Bélgica?
This week, Gerrit Six, a teacher, put up an ad on eBay: "For sale: Belgium, a kingdom in three parts . . . free premium: the king and his court (costs not included)." Interviewed by Associated Press Television News, Mr. Six said he wanted to "attract attention" and "make clear that Belgium was valuable, it's a masterpiece and we have to keep it."
The joke, perhaps inevitably, ended up on Belgium. The country attracted a top bid of €10 million, just under $14 million. Surely, even with its $300 billion plus in national debt, Belgium might fetch a little more on the open market.
