As we came back from London in the Eurostar, I came accross this newspaper article (also reported in the Beeb). If you’re not aware of the story, check it first before continuing reading this post.
The good news is that at least now people noticed that this can really happen, and the backlash was, I’d say, healthy. I, for one, would be very sad to see the idea of Belgium be defeated, as this country is very unique, and I quite like the good sides of it (in both Dutch and French). More background about Belgium and Belgian politics in Wikipedia.
