During the elections at the federal level, the winner is the one who "win" most of the communes (villages/parts of cities). But Brussels is strategic.

Since the polls said "party X is going to win", the party Y brought a new candidate there, a famous one, but she had nothing to do with the town (she lives in another town). So we said she has been "paradropped" in Brussels:


"Schaerbeek (the name of the town) - the longest day"
(reference to the American soldier who stayed stuck on the top of the church of Sainte Mère l'Eglise in France, 6th June 1944)
