capital being slang for "institutional seat"

• toyg 9y ago
  You seem to be confused. One could argue that Bruxelles is such “capital”, but definitely not Luxembourg. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_seats_of_the_European_Union https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_seats_of_the_E...

    capital being slang for "institutional seat" From your own link: > The seven institutions of the European Union (EU) are seated in four different cities, viz. Brussels, Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Strasbourg, rather than being concentrated in a single capital city.

      Yeah, FOUR different cities "rather than being concentrated". So no, Luxembourg is not "the" capital city of the EU, it's one among a number of institutional seats (a number that is expanding, btw; anything that is not set in treaties is being pushed elsewhere).
