I found this interview with independent Flemish journalist Christophe Degreef about the social, economic and political state of Wallonia very interesting. Luckily, there are subtitles available in Dutch, French and English, so non-Dutch speakers can still follow his analysis.
​
>”Wallonia is slowly but surely on its way to becoming its own nation, while Flanders is already there,” says Christophe Degreef in A La Carte. Degreef writes as a knowledgeable independent journalist for Apache and Doorbraak, among others, about what goes on in Wallonia and Brussels.
>
>Degreef: “Unlike Flanders, Wallonia has no obvious identity with its own language and media. Wallonia has also never overcome the fact that it no longer holds a position of economic power in Belgium. And there is no culture of responsibility. The latter is linked to that Walloon inferiority complex.”
>
>In his speech on the French-language holiday last week, Walloon parliamentary president Jean-Claude Marcourt (PS) distanced himself from both Belgium and the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles (that’s the French community), “which has really only existed in the minds of French-speaking Brussels residents.” In doing so, Marcourt is spreading the bed for a confederal Belgium. “If is not certain that Belgium will survive that scenario,” he said.
