That is, the planned mobilization on 23 January at the initiative of SHAME movement has occurred. And sorrowful souls who imagined, as political scientist back in La Libre, "a movement born on the canvas often just become reality ..." are to rank ... 30, 34, 38, 50,000? Whatever, this is a success in terms of mobilization and organization, with no major incidents were reported. For nearly
two weeks we have read the "paper" denouncing what many called a "mindless movement" (copyright Euroblog, specialist self-proclaimed our country for our neighbors hexagonal). In bulk, their considerations mainly revolved around the theme slogan of the absence of clear and anti-political movement that assumed primary "claim an immediate government is distressing, what matters is the project ... "," this movement is anti-political and therefore dangerous, because Poujadist ...", "our politicians have been working for months to find a solution," "this event will bring together not only nostalgic Francophone Belgium Papa" etc. ...
Thus, flourished here and there in the newspapers and on the canvas "10 reasons not to go to this event" ...
All these analysts are wrong, and heavily. Because the movement comes from the action, and not vice versa. A little less analysis, and a little more neck ....., it would be good from time to time.
First, as the figures show (cf. survey Le Soir / Dedicated), although there was "a bit of everything" at this event: Francophone Walloons and Brussels (44%!), The Dutch- Flanders (25%). There were also many young students and families with children and retirees. And yes, yes, some "some Belgian" in the heap.
Bart De Wever, who was quick to remind that the only expression of the people is one that emerges from the polls (only in Flemish that concerns you ... do not forget Bart), and that an event that gathers 80% Francophone (sic) and 20% of Flemish (re-sic) shows how urgent it is to reform the country, has once again shown how much he despises Brussels and its inhabitants. Because 44% of "Brussels" Bart, it's not "44% of Francophones. I was at this event, and the least we can say is that there were quite a lot of Dutch-speaking Flemings in Flanders or Brussels Brussels (and yes, they are Dutch and Brussels).
short, this event was fairly representative of those who have not provided that the fate of the brave: "Brussels. A little flat and regret all the same: few young or less young people coming, like me, immigration, were present. If you read me, do not forget, this country, this city, are also yours!
Brussels, the center of all the issues (and the failure of the last note Vande Lanotte). Brussels that nobody comes to ask his opinion. In the current negotiations (or future), the fate of Brussels is / will be negotiated by Di Rupo (Mons), Reynders (Liege), Javaux (Amay) and Milquet (Mrs. Wallon Corridor Rhode-St-Genèse). In other words, these are ready for any concessions to jettison the Brussels region and maintain their pre-Walloon square, from which they draw their electoral success ...
Then those who believed that this approach "anti-everything" was dangerous, if not populist, have seen the messages, although admittedly somewhat idealistic and romantic organizers, had no smell instead of "all rotten" . To be more precise and resume Philippe Geluck (but what he could well do this one here ... It is almost an album that comes out of the Cat?), The event was very contrary to Policy (note the capital P), in the sense that it gives citizens a certain word and the right to say "leaders of this country, now need to recover from any emergency at work and out of this situation. "
Finally, yes, the "message" might seem diffuse, certainly. But beyond the blurring of genres (such as some protesters wore unfortunately slogans anti-Flemish and therefore do not understand anything at all), this spontaneous, self-generated, the result of the generation of a web some form of globalization making citizens' voices, clearly shows that now, what happens in newsrooms and offices of political parties is no longer enough to fool the average citizen. Participatory society is born ... For those who minimize the scope of 40 or 50,000 people in the street dangerously underestimate all those who spoke and were not present: Facebook, forums, Twitter, ... The real significance of this movement affects probably 200 or 300,000 people ... The day this people will find a way to translate his feelings at the polls, this movement will weigh all his weight ...
This leads me to conclude by addressing what certainly missed this event: and now what can you do? Solutions, where you see them? Yves Leterme, speaking to young organizers today (The A - JT) remarked that it was their damn complicated reform of the state, but so necessary for all citizens. And one thing was to say "naked, stop" and the other to answer the question "what solutions do you propose?". A crisis is possible if the sterile confrontation between communities is finally leaving room for responsible cooperation between regions. If the deed and regional phenomenon is known for all regions, including the Brussels region, and regional entities empowered financially empowered and real, in a federal Belgium which we have already identified those areas that want to do together: finance, justice, safety, defense and security ...
The last article of Alain Maskens , sharp analysis and perfectly relevant to current blockages, leading the way, already advocated since 2009 by Pro Bruxsel. The solution exists, it will take courage and political will to implement it. For Brussels, certainly, but also for the future of this country that some would like to dismember sans vergogne. "One country, four regions / Un pays, quatre régions.
