 Frequently asked questions
What about Flanders and the Netherlands?
In the past Wallonia and the Belgian establishment has opposed all attempts at rapprochement between the people of Flanders and the people of the Netherlands. It is because of this that the Benelux area (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) has never developed properly. The Netherlands, of course, would obviously be the privileged partner of an independent Flanders. We belong to the same linguistic community; we live next to each other; we share the same history to a large extent and we have similar economic policies. Some would even say that we are the same people. The Vlaams Belang is in favour of close co-operation between the Netherlands and Flanders – amongst other things, to maintain Dutch as an official language within the European Union and, more generally, to defend the common interests and position of smaller member states.
