Belgian nationalism
An nationalistic ideology in Belgium that favours a strong central state, with less or no autonomy for the Flemish, the Walloon, the German speaking and Brussels bilingual nations within Belgium. It insists on restoring total sovereignty of the Belgian state level, after decades of state structure reforms that made Belgium a federal state since the 70s - contrary to Flemish nationalists who advocate independence of their region. Belgian nationalists advocate the unity between all language groups in Belgium, and condemn each chauvinistic or linguistic discrimination, advocate the knowledge of all official languages (Dutch, French, German) and a multicultural, tolerant strong feeling of citizenship.
Belgian nationalism (or 'Belgicistic nationalism') is mainly supported by French-speaking politicians, many extreme-left-wingers and certain circles in Brussels. However, political parties that support this ideology openly, have prominently never gained much electoral support over the last 20 years, but is gaining popularity very slowly. The effect of state reforms discussions to take place in 2005 is not predictable. Some Belgian nationalism can be found in the political agenda of most French-speaking parties.
Political parties with strong Belgian nationalistic ideology:
- Front des Francophones (FDF), French-speaking nationalistists, only French-speaking
- Belgische Unie/Union Belge (BUB), Belgian centrist Unionist party, strictly bilingual but in practice mainly Dutch-speaking
Political parties with certain Belgian nationalistic elements in their programmes:
- Parti Socialist (PS), French-speaking socialists with strong nationalistic programme
- Mouvement Reformateur (MR), French-speaking liberals with strong nationalistic programme, incorporates the FDF
