Wider entity

Thibault de la Motte, law student, 22, from Liege (Walloon)

I don't understand why francophone opinion is so wedded to the Belgian state.

The Flemish account for 60% of the combined population and 80% of exports. The Belgian state cannot protect us.

I have no objection to Wallonia being a part of a wider entity like the French republic.
