i'm belgian and i live in flanders, and there is quite a lot of tension right now but...
it has always been there.
at the moment there is a very popular flemish politician who wants to separate the country, but he's very vague on how exactly he'd do that. i don't trust him at all, but he gets tons of votes since he entered a very popular tv show and profiled himself there as a smart and funny man, while he has quite extreme ideas. people now vote for him because they think he's smart and nice, but they barely know what he stands for. sickening.
most of the country is going towards the right, and the more extreme politicians and it scares me. there have always been screams about splitting the country and ditching the king, but now more and more people start to listen to it, while i don't think it's such a good idea.
and don't worry space, while the funding for culture and certain types of education will certainly drop, this new popular politician looks like this:
i think the waffles, fries and chocolate will be safe.
