A Better Future
05/01/2008 :: Apart from a tiny group of Germans along its Eastern borders, Belgium is inhabited by two peoples: 62% Dutchspeaking Flemings in Flanders, and 38% Francophones in Wallonia.
The new Belgian government of Yves Leterme, however, does not reflect the demographic situation. Twelve of the 22 members of the cabinet are French speakers. Does anyone know another country in the civilized world where the majority of the government does not speak the language of the majority of the governed?
Flanders is also underrepresented in the Belgian parliament where more votes are needed to obtain a Flemish seat in parliament than a Walloon seat. A growing number of Flemings votes for the Vlaams Belang because they want to change this undemocratic situation. Our party offers the Flemings a message of change. It offers the people hope for a better future for their children because it stands for a sovereign and independent Flanders where the Flemings, like all other peoples, are allowed to decide their own future.
I am honoured that the members of the VB have appointed me as their leader, because the VB is the party which will lead Flanders to freedom and independence. Like my predecessor, Frank Vanhecke, and the other VB politicians my message to the Flemish people is a sound and clear “at your service.”
A new nation, which is also one of the oldest in Europe, is about to emerge: The Flemish Republic. Its message to the free and democratic Western world is equally clear: At your service.
Bruno Valkeniers, MP
Leader of the Vlaams Belang
