I am confused, I am far from a nationalist. I voted against the Compromise of Brussels and have never espoused nationalist views beyond a patriotic love of Belgium.
What makes you think that I am a Flemish nationalist?
I am not pointing to you with that, but there should be no tolerance for the ones who want to destroy the country. A true republican Socialist can do that, who served under my brother in the Red Legion, who fought for freedom. I am not saying that you are a nationalist, But I am saying that Coppens is more able according to me.

Let me highlight some of the hypocrisy in that statement for you. You mention that someone who is not seeking, or has not sought, to "destroy the country" would be ideal, yet you point to a former member of the notorious "Red Legion" as an ideal candidate? This completely overlooks the fact that Mnhr. Vanderhoof has overseen a prosperous and safe period for Vlaanderen, during which the threat of separatism has continued to remain purely political and non-violent. It is also a minor threat. There's something of a non sequitur in your point, I'd say.

I respectfully ask the General Secretary to support my candidacy for Minister of Wallonia. My opponents are conservatives and it would serve the interests of the workers to elect a socialist instead on guaranteeing a reactionary Minister. The BSU and Communist Party share many goals and I hope we can work together to accomplish them.

Name: Christof Peeters

Place of Birth: Sint-Truiden, Limburg
Nationality: Fleming
Bio:
Second son of Willem, Christof was raised in their family home in Sint-Truiden. His elder brother had never been very interested in politics despite Willem's efforts, and so after the untimely death of their father, Christof stood in the Sint-Truiden by-election. Though he lacked political experience, the respect his father had earned amongst the community, combined with his own campaigning, saw him the seat with a comfortable majority.

Forgive me sir, but unless I am mistaken the NDP remain the only party to advocate Liberalism within this chamber. At least they have not abandoned their name.
It is unfortunate, for some of the radicals at least, that the said cannot be said of their ideology.

Comrade Giroux,
In solidarity with a fellow stalwart of the workers, I will agree to your request.
I hereby change my vote for Minister of Wallonia from Abstain to Giroux

A fine alliance indeed - the anarcho-liberal NDP, representing the interests of plutocratic republicans and wishing to dismantle the constitutional regime of Belgium, and the Separatist Front that wants to tear the country apart.

I suppose the Republicans are showing their true colours now. The NDP is just a corpse of what was once a useful party, now they just waste our time pursuing something that seeks to actively destroy Belgium.
Christian starts laughing loudly
Republicans and Separatists one and the same in their shared goal of destroying Begium.

Night before elections, Jacques-Philippe gave a speech on public CL meeting in Charleroi. The local press quoted some of the most significant parts of his 20-minute speech:
- The four years of conservative rule brought glory to our state, prosperity to our economy and well-being to the common man. Belgium is pursuing its place in the sun, and every day, ships full of exotic goods are unloading their precious cargo in our ports. Belgium enjoys growth, stability and peace, and Conservative League will do everything to lead Belgium forward, towards a bright future.
- In the past years, I’ve been serving or country and justice in the Supreme Court. I never wanted to be a politician, but when the justice itself suffered under the boots of traitorous military, I decided to resign rather than corrupt myself with dishonesty some of my former colleagues have shown. I will not lie – this was the hardest decision of my life, as being a judge in the SC was always my dream. Yet, while I deeply regret all the events of those few days when Belgium was betrayed and when my only son fell on the battlefield for everything he believed in, I am convinced that this hard decision was right.
- My opponent, Monsieur Renard from BSU, is certainly a man full of youth and energy, but these traits come in hand with radicalism and temerity. While I do not doubt about his skills and abilities, his calls for abandoning Catholicism as the state religion and allowing trade unions are very dangerous for Belgian society, as Catholicism is the moral code for every true Belgian and, as the experiences from abroad clearly show, trade unions are just a cover for anarchists and communists, seeking to destroy our monarchy, our society and our traditions.
- Tomorrow, all of you citizens of Charleroi will decide what our future will be. Whether Belgium will follow a way of radicalism, uncertainty, hatred and violence between fellow Belgians known as “socialism”, or whether Belgium will follow the path of our fathers, the path that led Belgium to independence, order and prosperity. I am indeed sure which path do I want to follow – and tomorrow, I will vote Conservative League.

Gentlemen,
I must say that the term of our dear Prime Minister Franz Ludwig Wolff has been probably one of the most successful in the history of Belgium. During his administration we managed to achieve the goals all our previous governments found impossible to achieve. We managed to guarantee healthy colonial expansion of our nation, conclude an alliance with our German neighbours, defeat the Americans in the Sokotan diplomatic battles, develop our country greatly. It is clear that we have to thank the first minister of the Crown for this - but it is clear as well that these plans could not have been implemented without such able diplomat as Pytor Aerts, the wunderkind Minister of Foreign Affairs (De Lannoy laughs).
Therefore I see fit for myself to nominate both Franz Ludwig Wolff and Pytor Aerts for Order of Prosper Louis. I also ask His Highness the Prince Regent to grant Monsieur Wolff a honorary peerage (similiar to the ones granted to Monsieur Poisson and generals of Sokotan campaign) that would commemorate his services to the nation.
