In Belgium, leaders recognised the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities.
Explanation:
Having a joint power between the Dutch and the French-speaking people in Belgium was the main political question. 59 % of people in Belgium speak Dutch & 40% speak French. However, 80 percent speak French in Brussels' capital, and 20 percent speak Dutch The minority French-speaking citizens were wealthy and strong and the Ducth resented them . The latter benefited very late from economic policies. The consequence was friction in the 1950s and 1960s between Dutch- and French-speakers.
However, the Belgian government accommodated its diverse ethnic population in the following manner:
- The Constitution states that in the central government the number of the Dutch and French-speaking Ministers is equal. Therefore, no group can unilaterally take decisions.
- The governments of state and the two regions of the country obtained certain powers from the Central Govt. The govts of the States are not accountable to the central govt.
- There is a different government in Brussels with fair representation in both groups.
- The 'Community government' is a third form of government. This administration is chosen by the citizens of one language group — German, French and Dutch, regardless of their places.
- This administration has the power to resolve problems relating to cultural education and language. These agreements helped to ensure that the two main communities avoided civil war and potential linguistic tensions in the region.
