How can Belgium get out of its crisis?

On Monday, December 3rd, following the resignation of Yves Leterme, the King of Belgium asked the outgoing prime minister Guy Verhofstadt, who has been managing current affairs for the past six months, to find a way out of the political dead-lock. Interviewed by Olivier Mouton, the Belgian political scientist Pascal Delwit, describes the dangers inherent in the current situation. "The main risk lies in a phenomenal rise in apolitical thinking. Things are incomprehensible for a number of observers as well as Belgian citizens. Even political authorities no longer understand what is going on! This is a fact. And it must be understood that such an increase in the apolitical will affect everyone except for the far-right. This must be seriously taken into account. And frankly, it is going to be very hard to explain an enlarged Verhofstadt III government to the citizens. That would really be stretching our pedagogical capacities too far."

Can Brussels loose its status as capital of Europe?

Interviewed by Stéphanie Bocart, the Belgian political scientist Pascal Delwit ponders the future of Brussels if ever Belgium were to split in two. "If Belgium implodes, we will find ourselves either in the logic of a Belgium reduced to Wallonia and Brussels, or else in the logic of a European city-state. It is very difficult to speculate. The key issue for Brussels is maintaining its status as European and international capital. Let us be quite clear, if Brussels is not the capital of Europe, it will become a small provincial town. It will loose the European institutions and all that surrounds them, such as the headquarters of firms. In addition, 30-35% of Brussels' inhabitants are not Belgian, in part because of its status of European capital. It is surprising to see how absent this dimension is from current debate and negotiations."
