Today, the European jury has announced its decision for the European Capital of Culture 2030, and Molenbeek for Brussels 2030 (MB2030) was not selected. While this moment may feel like a pause in our adventure, it is not an ending. What we have built together over these years is too strong, too alive, and too necessary to stop here. We applaud the titleholder, and we will contribute with all our generosity to their further development into the European Capital of Culture 2030.
