Clear vision for a Belgian confederation

The nationalist Flemish party N-VA presented on the 30 October 2013 a plan for a Belgium organised as a confederation of two states - Flanders and Wallonia.

The policy proposals will be debated at an N-VA conference in January 2014 ahead of the 2014 general election in Belgium.
