| 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."
