Miss Belgium Alizee Poulicek Booed By Crowd

The problem is that she doesn't speak the native language of Flanders. The Flemish dialect of Dutch is the native language for 60% of the population of the country

Not her fault. If it's that important, schools should be required to educate the kids in both languages, but she was never taught Flemish. She does speak several other languages. The problem is that Belgium should not be a country at all. The two halves have nothing in common except a government. They should just dissolve the sucker and be done with it, giving Flanders a choice to become independent or part of The Netherlands, and giving Wallonia the choice to become independent or part of France. Flanders would have no problem surviving as a nation, if they chose to do so. Wallonia? I'm not sure.
