| Belgium Divided |
 |
April 2008
The nation's politicians are bickering over
an issue that's plagued the country since its
creation in 1830: how do you reconcile the
French speaking Walloons in the south and the
Dutch speaking Flemish in the north? How can
you have national co-operation when the
people who make up the nation don't share a
common language let alone read the same
newspapers, watch the same television or vote
for the same politicians?
Asked "What is Belgium actually for?" those
on the Flemish far right have a devastating
answer. "Belgium in my opinion is an
occupier, because basically it was created to
let the French culture dominate the Dutch
culture, so in my opinion it's an occupier."
That's the opinion of the new leader of the
Flemish far-right, Bruno Valkeniers.
The conflict even intrudes into the celebrity
show biz media.
Minutes after being crowned Miss Belgium,
Alizee Poulicek, a French speaker, stepped
out of the pages of a fashion magazine and
into the fire of the separatist debate. Asked
an innocuous question in Flemish (Dutch), she
was unable to reply. Booed by the crowd she
was pilloried by the Dutch language press as
being representative of the arrogance
displayed by French speaking Belgians.
Ms Poulicek has seen the linguistic light and
confides in Epstein that actually she's very
keen, "to learn Dutch and to do a lot of
things on the Dutch side of the country and
with Dutch people... and I have to do my best
to try to speak Dutch."
