Many Dutch adults would welcome the Flemish region of Belgium into their country, according to a poll by TNS Nipo released by RTL. 67 per cent of respondents support the reunification of the Netherlands and Flanders, while 33 per cent disagree.
Flanders is the Flemish region of Belgium, and is located in the north side of the country. It has its own legislature and government, just as Wallonia, the French south of Belgium. The native Flemings descend from Germanic and Gaulish tribes. Flemish people speak a variant of Dutch, as opposed to the rest of Belgium’s residents. The Flemish provinces were part of the Netherlands until 1831, when the Kingdom of Belgium was established.
