Ford Genk en de prostitutie van de media

Abstract
After the closing of the Ford factory in Genk was announced, the prime minister of Flanders, corporations, experts and commentators intensified their campaign against high wages (although workers had previously accepted a cost reduction of 12% also supported by the government). Next came continuous attacks on the unemployment benefits with supplement paid by the corporation. Government deficit, financing of pensions and the European austerity requirements, all are mixed up in the discourse, with the purpose of sparing corporate profit. Media, commercial as well as the government sponsored, emerge as prostitutes of the 1% richest.
