Flanders, Belgium. We've been ruled by right-wing austerity hawks for a good decade now, so you hit the nail on the head.
I'm sorry to hear that. And yes, it's depressing to see these "privitization will save us all" types destroy public services using the same old playbook of "defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out" everywhere.
