Institutions
No article published in this topic yet — in the meantime, here is the essence of the debate and our tools to compare the parties on « Institutions ».
Understanding the issue
Belgium combines a federal State, three Regions and three Communities, the product of six successive reforms. The institutional debate follows a Flanders-Wallonia divide: in the north, parties demand more autonomy, from confederalism to Flemish independence; in the south and on the left, parties defend the federal level, even refederalising powers such as healthcare. Two poles thus frame the axis: maintaining the federal State versus confederalism.
