    What difference is the Dutch Flanders going to make? They basically share an open border and a similar wage.
    The conflict between Flemings and Walloons is old.

    And Wallonia is seen, not without reason, as a burden in Flanders, which pays, by the way, more than 6 billion a year for Wallonia. If the Walloons’ attitude was different, the Flemings would certainly want to stay united to Wallonia, but over the years, the latter hasn’t shown any sign of improvement, of positive dynamics. On the contrary, Wallonia wallows in its misery, in its mediocrity, so that the Flemings are desperate and consider Wallonia as a hopeless cause.

    Never said that Balkanization is a new concept for the West, tribes around these places have been killing each other since time immemorial. I'm just saying that there may be a decivilizing reason for Balkanization to be relevant again.

    Flanders and the Netherlands used to form a unity, but the fall of Antwerp at the time of the Eighty Years’ War, in 1585, brought it to an end.

    If it seems unthinkable, federalism was also unthinkable in Belgium in the 60’, but it became reality in the 70’.

    If I could die as a Southern Dutch, I would die much happier than as a Belgian”.

    You say “relevant again” and I may be wrong but it sounds to me like it means that it wasn’t relevant before. “Still relevant” would have been more appropriate.

    Flemish was until recently put in a situation of diglossia, where it was considered with disdain, in opposition with the prestigious French language. And then the Belgian State was created in 1830, with a French-speaking German king at its head and French as the only official language, although the Flemish speaking were the majority. In parallel with the industrial decline of Wallonia, which dominated economically, Flanders became a great economic power and the Flemish nationalist and linguistic claims were nourished by that rise. In 1967, the Flemish speaking expelled the French speaking from the university of Leuven:

    Flanders to the Dutch, Wallonia to the French, Brussels becomes a special zone of the EU. Problem solved.
