After 541 days without a government Belgium seems to haven’t found the solution to the linguistic and political problems that it’s submersed. Those problems push the two parts of Belgium in an intensive fight for the control of the state, that seems to not have an end in a short term. The various government proposals that have happened throughout this year were too different and it didn’t have depth between the Flemish and the Walloon part. Because the can achieve a politic- linguistic agreement.
The new assaulted the newspapers the last week, when Elio Di Rupo was appointed as Prime Minister of Belgium. It seems that Di Rupo have already de magic formula to achieve an agreement between the two feuding parts of Belgium.
After have the consent of the Belgium Parliament, nowadays Di Rupo can do whatever he want with Belgium, but the important point now it’s what Belgians think.
Opinions of real belgians
Lander Huybrecht
Lander Huybrecht a Flemish student, that lives in the walloon part says; “ Actually I don’t have any expectations about the new government. I think, that is going to be the same as always. I’m not pretty sure that we will be able to achieve an agreement between the two parts of Belgium”. For him the different governments are always the same, just a bridge between the next government, with useless political ideas that are not going to really help the country.
Rob Govaerts
By his part Rob Govaerts, a 25 years old Brussels musician, not that far from Lander’s opinion, “Di Rupo is just between something, I really know that he is not the definitive Prime Minister of Belguim”, he says. In his opinion a Prime Minister that is not able to speak Dutch as well as he speaks French is not able to govern Belgium, “Belgium is the sum of two parts. yYou must understand both parts, and of course you must be able to talk both languages, if not you are not the real Prime Minister of Belgium”.
For both this new government is just a mask, to cover real faults of Belgium like its bad economy nowadays. But the hope is still in them, and they match, when they talk about a future government for this country with an equitable sharing between the two parts Walloonnia and the Flanders.
