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:

  1. Each reform must be a significant step towards greater autonomy.
  2. Each reform should not prevent further reforms.
  3. Inside each reform, the price paid to the other negotiator should not be unreasonable.
