Although Yves Leterme excused himself for possibly offending some Belgian citizens, the movie in which he (1) makes a mobile phone-call in church, (2) fails to answer why they celebrate the country’s national day the 21^st of July and (3) mistakenly sings the French national anthem is creating quite some commotion.
