[M&H] We leave the union
Ministerie van Media en Recrui
Dear citizens,
Yesterday, the government started a vote in congress regarding the dissolvement of the Union and the acknowlegdement of the Belgian state.
This is article 1 of the UNL constitution:
Article 1
A) The eUNL is a democratic union of Belgium and the Netherlands.
😎
This union is built on democratic support from both countries citizens.
C) When either citizens of Belgium or the Netherlands can show a democratic support for seperation this Union will enter a seperation phase to be completed by the goverment
The current UNL government sees that A and B are no longer met by the current situation. We are no longer one and a lot of democratic support is also missing. Still, a lot of people from both sides were still hoping for the Belgian regions to return to the UNL. Something others did not appreciate, and even judged them badly for it.
To avoid further discussion and confusion, the UNL government decided to use part C of article 1. We have started a vote in the UNL Congress.
The congressmen may vote on the question wether they "agree on disbanding the union and acknowledging Belgian independancy?"
Now that the congress accepted this vote, the Union is officially dissolved and the Belgian state acknowledged by our government.
Also, the government makes clear that when the Belgian government or people decide to merge and form the Union once again, we will welcome them with open arms.
On behalf of the government,
Flando, Minister of Media & Health

Bha, c'était déjà le cas!
verdomd heftig nieuws
C'est nouveau ? vu le comportement d'un certain gouvernement, Ils devaient ptet rechercher une couronne mortuaire
Zembun wakaranai...
Gelukkig. Weer gewoon eNederland.
Dit is een verrassing! Quite a surprise!
"Now that the congress accepted this vote, the Union is officially dissolved and the Belgian state acknowledged by our government."
The congress has NOT YET accepted this vote, and will need a 75% in favour to change the constitution, which isn't the case up until this moment.
It has been accepted, look at the article 1C, it is a democratic majority
Thats the old Enetherlands constitution, the current constitution does not need that 75%
As NL leave the Union, how will be manage the assets of the Union ?
The different state companies ? The BEFs ? It will be nice to explain what will be negociate with the Belgian government...
@ThomasRe😛 The government we will speak on this matters tomorrow. But the UNL Congress has accepted a vote that stops us helping Belgium with our state companies. Be sure that we will publish more on the plans when we have them
If it's really the end of the Union, the assets of the Union will have to be distributed between the differents members of the old Union. What the Union have today have only been possible because Belgium and Netherlands have both contributed to it. Thanks for the start of precisions you have provided.
Great news, this will be a step forward in eDutch-eBelgian piplomacy. And as ThomasRed is pointing out, it would be nice to have some of the joint resources back 😉
This is a divorce but it was better to negociate who take what before roar everywhere that it is the end.
Honnêtement, tant qu'on est débarrasser de leur boulet... s'ils ont envie de tester le suicide, c'est encore leur problème.
Ils gèrent comme des clampins, avec une économie qui va à la ruine : qu'ils y aillent tout seul. ils se planteront tous seuls comme des glands
good news
Kravenn: I remember seeing a number of articles in the Belgian media about how the Union had ended anyway some time before. So I think we're perhaps both guilty of not negotiating on beforehand. It's ok though, as long as we know it of each other 🙂 I am sure the practial matters will be resolved soon.
Go!
You shouldn't play the game of the criticism. You have answers there.

Sad day, as the union was very good for our economy, and community.
I hope both countrys will take steps forward to eachother to archive a good coorporation.
ye, way to go, leave the union, leave all alliance, wait likea sitting duck until we get attacked.
Yes, eindelijk weer nederlands..
en @ alle belgen please mogen we ons ziekenhuis back.. danku !!
finally eNL has his own name again AND doesnt lose money to BELGIAN state companies
this is a great and fair decission, well done
Kunnen we weer gewoon in het Nederlands communiceren.
I hope the Netherlands and Belgium can still remain friends <3
So are we now eNL?
Ah Kravenn and Slivever... your upbuilding participation in politics have been so sorely missed. I always enjoy people that have to revert to another language to make their points in public. To both of you I can only announce Fyrir hverja personu sem ykkur tekst ad lata hlusta a ykkur deir hlutur hamingju veroldinar. Yes. Bold statements, I know. Its shocking in fact, and confronting and so incredibelly revealing!
Always good to get reminders on why I left the politcs here a long time ago, it's impossible to mute people from discussion they have no part to play in.
Quoi, Steingrimur vient de se rendre compte que nous avions décrit avec précision ce qui allait se passer? Qu'on avait raison, depuis le début? Ben, c'est trop tard maintenant.
Et ceux qui ne sont pas capable de reconnaitre cette évidence... Tant pis pour eux.
I also love your third person referrals as always Sliv.
Tell me, is it blatant lack of knowledge that keeps you from speaking english or just a fear your arguments will fire back at you?
"We always knew" Phaw, i'd like to remind you that article 1 of the constitution was worded that way by it's current MoHA so that if the union ever became a less desireable option we could seperate the countries in a clean and proper arranged manner. I believe the furthest you got to actually comming up with argumentation and legistlation on the matter was referring to the dutch parties of the union as the 3 small dwarfes?
Your a shining beacon of light in this matter Sliv, I just wish I knew where your off-switch was so we could store you away somewhere for future use. Store somewhere FAR away... for a FAR away future.
Pour information, je ne parlais pas seulement de ce sujet.
Nous avions raison, sur ca, et sur le reste.
Mais je peux comprendre que ce soit aujourd'hui très dur à avaler.
Avec un peu de chance, vous vous y ferrez. Ou pas.
(prévenez quand même LSD qu'ils ne sont pas "assez" néerlandais. Au début, ca leur ferra un choc, puis ils se souviendront de qui ils ont en face d'eux...)
