 Frequently asked questions
Why Flemish independence is the only solution?
Politicians of the establishment Flemish parties, who are often too pragmatic, campaign for constitutional revisions and adjustments within the Belgian federal framework. But their proposals are routinely vetoed by the Walloons, for whom even the slightest modification of institutions constitutes an attack on their privileged position.
The Vlaams Belang seeks the complete independence of Flanders, with Brussels as the new state’s bilingual capital. This independent Flanders will remain, of course, a part of the European Union. With its six million inhabitants and its internationally oriented economy, Flanders is comparable with other relatively small but modern, democratic and efficient states, such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Austria and Switzerland.
The 1905 split of the Scandinavian Union into Norway and Sweden and the 1992 split of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia prove it is possible to transform dual federations into independent successor states in a peaceful, democratically legitimate and internationally accepted fashion.
