Belgium on Tuesday will match the world record for the biggest political crisis after 289 days without a government after the general election. The situation, which until now only been seen in Iraq, is leading to a climate of temper that will dissipate with the free distribution of chips on campuses.
In 2010, the Iraqis took 249 days to conclude an agreement on power sharing, and 40 days for the government to be sworn. In Belgium, where surrealism seems to be popular, some held on 17 February that it had exceeded the threshold of 249 days without government. Organized a 'revolution of the chips' in which more than 5,000 people gathered to taste the famous national dish.
However, these events had no effect of the idea launched by the actor Benoît Poelvoorde, who urged his compatriots not to shave until the kingdom did not get a government in full exercise of his power. After nine months of deadlock (the Belgians voted on June 13, 2010) the Flemish parties are demanding regional autonomy opponents reject francophone, increasing fears the crisis could lead to the division.
To match the world record of 289 days without a government, to be beaten on Wednesday, the collective 'Separatism, not in our name "is preparing to change the name of the main squares of the university cities such as Liege, Namur, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels with the nickname 'instead of chips.
" Also be a new distribution of potatoes and organizing different concerts. This situation benefits the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), the party that won parliamentary elections in Flanders in June (27.8% of the votes) that obviates judge advocate for the Federal Government "evaporation" of Belgium to benefit of an independent Flanders.
According to a poll published Monday by the newspaper 'La Libre Belgique', N-VA meets 33% of the vote in Flanders. Its leader, Bart De Wever, reinforces its position as the most popular politician in the Netherlands, with an approval rating that achieves 57%. The success of the separatist Flemish is starting to irritate some Flemish Christian Democrats, whose former Prime Minister Yves Leterme, blasted Bart De Wever last week for failing to get an agreement with French speakers.
This change in positioning Leterme, formerly near the N-VA, is a strong signal that "something starts moving in Flanders", where "everyone is more or less understand that having an agreement with N-VA is impossible, "said political scientist David Sinardet Antwerp, casting the shadow of the possibility that business as usual" for much longer.
