Is Belgium Breaking Up by Pat Buchanan
posted September 30, 2007 - 11:31pmThis article is about the current situation in Belgium and the possibility of the country breaking up.
"Belgium, created by the European powers in 1831, is the likely next nation in Europe to break up – into a Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north, tied to Holland by language and culture, and a Francophone south, Wallonia, tied to France by language and culture."
"Belgium is also divided economically and politically. Flanders is wealthy, conservative, capitalist. Wallonia is poor, socialist, statist."
"By one poll, 43 percent of Flemish wish to quit Belgium and go their own way."
