If you are Flemish and care more about that than Belgium, move to Nederlands! If you are Walon and care more about that than Belgium, move to France!

Oddly enough, this phrase was mockingly used of the current King's grandfather, Albert I, by his German enemies during the German occupation of Belgium during World War I.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-13299584353597113642011-05-08T16:04:58.689-05:002011-05-08T16:04:58.689-05:00Zarove, I also don't understand why the separa...Zarove, I also don't understand why the separatist movements are not simply declared treasonous and illegal! What government can tolerate such constant questioning of the very existence of the nation? The nation ought to be a given, the basis of any further political discussion.

I can understand wanting to keep the King out of politics as is the tradition in Belgium but each Belgian king must swear the following oath at the time of their accession: "I swear to observe the Constitution and the laws of the Belgian people, to maintain the national independence and the integrity of the territory." So, obviously, a group which openly advocates diminishing the territorial integrity, as the seperatists would, must be in conflict with the King whose duty it is to maintain the territory and unite the people. It should come as no surprise that the one figure who stands for unity would be in conflict with those who stand for division.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-29509053020899494062011-05-07T03:33:27.209-05:002011-05-07T03:33:27.209-05:00In regards to Belgium, two things.

Why can't we do that now regarding the separatists? Simply declare them illegal.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.com
