"extremely serious", really?
At the press conference he gave yesterday evening in the international lounge of the House, after his long interview with King, Mr. Di Rupo Ellio stated: "It would very serious not to take into consideration the opinion of the population in its majority [he said "its great" majority] do not want to split Belgium.
Two questions arise. The first: what people are they? That of Wallonia, one of Flanders, one of Brussels ?
Certainly we would get different opinions depending on regions. On the other hand, outside a referendum like the one that took place in 1950, who can say exactly what the citizens think ? The vox pops and other techniques of questioning people met in the street does not provide valid data because they are often contradictory. It all depends on how questions are asked.
also claim that people's opinions do not match the programs of political parties for whom they vote is dangerous for democracy . We know where the policy led by Rex and Leon Degrelle, who argued against the "real country" in the country legally. It is surprising, in this regard, the President of the Socialist Party used this argument ... The 2 million Flemings who voted June 13 for the N-VA, and 780,000 of them who have given voice Bart De Wever preferably are not idiots. They knew well the program trtès separatist the party and its leader and voted knowingly. Whatever the connection that people can take in private or in the street, the only thing that counts is the vote that they express in the voting booth, since political parties are not people who decide.
The second question is to ask that a division of Belgium would have "extremely serious ? This would be contrary to the path of wisdom, rather than trying to maintain at all costs an artificial country made up of two people whose attitudes are so opposed Elio Di Rupo said himself that his mission was to "reconcile irreconcilable "that his task was "titanic" and, anyway, it would make a " radical reform" of the state, constituting a "Copernican revolution" ... The rescue of this hybrid Belgium, whose role is completed in 1830 designed a long time [the job Is Done! ], Is it really all repeated political crises, such continual opposition between Flemings and Walloons / speaking, this non-government a quasi-steady state destined to disappear? That effort, endless discussions, preliminary agreements lame constantly challenged to delay the inevitable!
In a sense, Mr. Maingain has perhaps not wrong when he believes that Mr. Di Rupo does not act as a statesman. A true statesman Walloon [there are more than "Belgian" anyway] would say to Mr De Wever: "You want division of Belgium, the Flemish independence? And Well, negotiating in that direction, put cards on the table, dare to address the issue of property division and debt, let us part amicably, go together with the notary . And he would begin parallel negotiations with France, which is ready to welcome us and why Walloon debt does not represent much, as explained very well the French Jacques Lenain.
As to the opinion of the Walloon population, we know that half of the Walloons are already in favor of union with France in case of division of Belgium.
