Yes, it is batshit crazy that this happened, and that municipalities actually stripped people of Belgian nationality that they already acquired.
Even more puzzling is how flimsy Belgian nationality is -- that you can lose Belgian nationality so easily and without even any kind of wrong-doing.
The Federal Ombudsman says the “Immigration Office is exceeding its powers.” But AFAICT the immigration office is just making a request -- one that can and should be ignored.
Very bizarre that the municipality has these powers. Sure, the muni has the power to grant nationality. Fair enough. But I find it a bit disturbing that the muni has power to strip nationality. Such a serious assault on someone’s human right to self-determinism should be a federal procedure, no?
I gave some feedback here, but wanted to give video ideas (in vain of course because the Norwegian Consumer Council is not here in Lemmy.
Would have been great if one of the high-up enshitifiers were giving a seminar to the staff to emphasize how consumers are pushovers. They really missed something important. He could have said “just throw more CAPTCHAs at them.. they will solve them... the consumers have no spine, which is great for us!”
Would also be cool if they did a more serious Michael Moore style documentary, where they cover historic enshitification, such as British mail delayers (that is, there used to be a job where a human would look at how fast postal mail was being delivered and if lower class mail would be delivered as fast as 1st class mail, they would deliberately hold it back). And Intel who deliberately crippled their CPUs to clock at slower speeds than the chips were capable of. There are countless examples like this.
