Belgium on the brink of secession?

Belgium could implode before Greece

while everybody is watching the dangerous situation in Greece few pay attention to Belgium , a country divided between two linguistic communities that have hard time living together, Since June 10, Belgium is without a government.while its national debt has reached 300 billion Euros ..
Belgium is facing its most acute crisis of identity since the beginning of its history. Its main components, the French and Flemish region, and the respective parties fail to agree 100 days after the election. Even the national symbol that have always glued the country that was so far the monarchy in the figure of King Albert II is not able to solve this crisis. According to the former prime minister Wilfried Martens, the euro was the main cause for this current impasse. Martens was prime minister for most of the 80s when the Belgian franc was the national currency and argues that the conflict between The Wallonie and the Flanders was also seen in those years, but the fact of having a national currency union was a defense against market speculation, and brought the two communities together.
According to a recent survey two thirds of Flemish think Belgium will not survive long as a state. The biggest problem is its capital Brussels. Which way is the center? Brussels is in fact a majority French-speaking enclave within Flanders. The Flemish in favor of secession could accept that Brussels becomes the administrative capital of Europe on the model of Washington DC, but both suggest that even if Wallonia in danger of fragmentation, components having French, Luxembourg and Germany within it.

Despite all these considerations, many Belgians (87% in a poll of 2005) do not want the country to be divided. Many argue that these are only the usual games of power and money and that a division of the country would be a detriment and impoverishment for all. Above is the worst example for the entire continent.
