Summary of a paneldiscussion featuring Paul Magnette, Belgian federal minister and PS representative, Frank Vandenbroucke (Sp-a), and three professors in political science and history: Dave sinardet, Maarten Van Ginderachter and Rik Coolsaet. The subjects were: What future for the social democrats in Belgium ? should Sp-a become more flemish, or more socialist? Frank VDB answers that the social democrats should not only be concerned about money, but also about immaterial values: the world people live in, such as language, which creates a community feeling. Magnette says the Parti Socialiste has since long been in favour of more responsibilities for the regions; but the party is worried about the anti-workers ideology of the Flemish nationalists, and their rejection of political power for the Brussels region. The scientists DS and MVG confirm the need for specific educational policies in Brussels, and the anti-socialist viewpoints of the Flemish nationalist movement.
