Europe has many secessionist movements – and the same is true of Belgium, where a separatist party is on the rise. In this video, we take a look at whether Flemish people really want independence, explain the party’s growth and what it means for Belgium going forward.

    The danger of VB indead is that the majority of their voters vote for them because of anti-establishment and of the migratian issues that Belgium (and Europe face), especially the increasing muslim population in Europe. We in Belgium see the danger of that. While Sweden was a safe paradise once it now is one of the most dangereous country (city wise), While Marseille was once a vibrant tourist city, it now is a warzone. That said they will use these votes with the same vigour tho damage and brake up my country and that while an absolute minority of the Belgians really want to split up the country. But that is a thing flemish nationalists are really good in, press there separatist agenda through.

    Same with NVA, their mantra is we split further and further but never give something back to the federal level. So they always get something and the rest always lose something. And at the end there is nothing left. At least VB is honest at want they want. NVA is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Confederalism is a lie and an empty box to attract non separatist voters. In fact they admit they want to split all things except things that will be transferred to europe in the future. They take more time and present themself as moderate but in the end it is almost the same result.

    splitting apart wont work but we might be able to get rid of the king wich cost us billions and stop paying the poor have of the country to not work wich cost 100 of millions. if we sucseed in this we could lower our brutal taxes from 40 to hopefully 30 or les . in belgium if you dont wanne work thats oke you get paid to do nothing if ur an imigrant you even get a house and more money . im not kidding this is how it works . now most people in flanders work . but allot of the frensh speaking waloons say there are “communists” and would rather fish then work . so what ends up hapening is the guy who works 40 hours to earn 1800 a months makes les then a not working turk ore whatever who just got here . zo jeah if we dont win this year evryone is leaving this shit hole 😂 the comunist and marrokans can have it . u will see how long its last . all the usefull people will be moving to africka to start nieuw flanders and try egain . there is hope boys !

    When it takes 541 days to form a government, it is the Deep State which keeps things from collapsing.

    BTW, Brussels is officially bilingual, but in fact is overwhelmingly French-speaking.

    This question will never get old, and rightfully so: Imagine you have your home in a gated community that was formed under certain premises that would grant such a small population certain stability and even prosperity, on paper. Then you see that, well, some homes don’t carry their weight and default on debt, causing others, who do pay, to foot the bill because you don’t want to live in a pigsty. You understood circumstances: no one is free of having a bad period. But what happens when those never improved, those kept being a burden, along decades at your own expense? You may feel cheated on the foundational contract, imprisoned because, well, your home is there and you can’t leave it unless it’s to face a harsher life too. Then you could begin to ponder if it would be better if such a gated community should be divided, as to redefine questions that weren’t on the original contract.

    Worse: what happens if such gated community, already having its struggles, allows (whether intentionally or due to negligence) homeless people inside, again, whether on purpose or because they simply lack the ability to control the entrance? Now you have to pay not only for those home owners who didn’t carry their weight for different reasons but for those who don’t even have a home in the neighborhood and never were part of the original plan, transforming the community more and more into a dystopian place to live.

    Worse: you are being insulted and despised, as logically you are the purported douche who wants others to pay for their historical liability or at least begin to do so. You become the evil egotistical character who wants the community to burn. Except you aren't.

    This not only happens in Europe but in other parts of the world where different communities, sometimes divided by ethnic, religious, or other cultural differences, aspire to be the owners of their destinies in contrast to being subjected to bigger administrators that they feel take more than they give.

    Nothing grants that you own project will be a success but at the very least, is another opportunity to set some things straight in a different manner, rather than keeping what you see as a failed project to keep piling setbacks.

    April 7, 2024 at 7:16 am

    Why is it, mate, that, whenever you have a conservative faction on the rise in any country, inevitably the media characterizes them as “far-right”? Whereas, whenever a socialist party is on the move, they’re NEVER referred to as “far-left”? Double standard, eh?

    I founded the Western Belgium Party and we are opposed to the Eastern Belgium Party as they ALWAYS head to OUR beaches (having none of their own) and HOG the sandscapes we love, leaving their Speculoos wrappers for US to pick-up. If everyone follows our example, it is NOT true that there would be one nation per Belgian, as we have some IDENTICAL twins here and there who can get along nicely.

    I hate how everyone is throwing around "far-right" as an adjective about literally everything they disagree with. This is so annoying.
