[en] Issues for discussion:
1) Two peoples claiming the same real estate? A Brussels which is 90% Francophone and cradle of the Flemish cultural heritage. The ‘droit du sol’ vs ‘droit des gens’.
2) A conflict between linguistic communities? or a cultural divide between Neo-liberal Anglo-Saxon culture in the North and Continental dirigisme in the South?
3) Has Romantic nationalism of the Flemish separatist movement truly been supplanted by ‘Nationalists with Calculators’?
4) The position of the monarchy and the traditional elites in the growing social and political crisis.
5) The EU as unwitting facilitator of the Continent’s cascading self-determinations: the alignment of Bart de Wever’s most populous party in Flanders with an EU identity
