Wallonia (French: Wallonie [walɔni], German: Wallonie(n), Dutch: Wallonië [ʋaːˈloːni.ə], Walloon: Walonreye Walloon pronunciation: [walɔ̃ʀɛjɜ]; Luxembourgish: Wallounesch) is a region of Belgium. It is predominantly French-speaking. It accounts for 55% of the territory of Belgium and a third of its population. Unlike Flanders, the Walloon Region was not merged with the French Community of Belgium which is the political entity that is responsible for matters related mainly to culture and education. The German-speaking minority in the east forms the German-speaking Community of Belgium, which has its own government and parliament for culture-related issues. The demonym for Wallonia is Walloon.
During the industrial revolution, Wallonia was second only to the United Kingdom in industrialization, capitalizing on its extensive deposits of coal and iron. This brought the region wealth, and, from the beginning of the 19th to the middle of the 20th centuries, Wallonia was the more prosperous half of Belgium. Since World War II the importance of heavy industry has greatly declined, and the Flemish Region surpassed Wallonia in wealth as Wallonia economically declined. Wallonia now suffers from high unemployment and has a significantly lower GDP per capita than Flanders. The economic inequalities and linguistic divide between the two are major sources of political conflict in Belgium.

Now for our Europinion segment we go to Belgium. After the latest round of elections held there in June, negotiations on forming a Belgian government have stranded because of ongoing tensions between French speaking and Dutch speaking politicians. Some French-speaking Wallonian politicians have already stated that separating Belgium into an independent Flanders and Wallonia might be the only way to solve the problem. We went to the city of St. Truiden and asked people on the streets for their opinion. "I think that would be a good idea. Then all that fighting would be over." "I just read an article about it. I'm not in favor. I still feel Belgian." "It'll have its positive and negative sides for the Flemish, as well as for the people of Wallonia." "That's a good idea. They...

The problem is that the regional assembly in the Belgian province of Wallonia has refused to accept 'CETA.'
As a region, Wallonia is naturally open to the world and conversant in different languages and cultures. A vocation for exporting. An extraordinary sense of welcome.
