Frans Baert's doctrine[]
Frans Baert is the founder of a methodology, known in Dutch as ; regarding Flemish independence.[1] This doctrine,[2] taken by some Flemish politicians, is a step-by-step strategy in order to get an independent Flemish State through democratic reforms of Belgium.
Each reform must follow three basic rules in order to reach a Flemish independence at the end:
- Each reform must be a significant step towards greater autonomy.
- Each reform should not prevent further reforms.
- Inside each reform, the price paid to the other negotiator should not be unreasonable.
