Frans Baert's doctrine

Frans Baert is the founder of a methodology, known in Dutch as Baertdoctrine; regarding Flemish independentism.[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 reforms 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 reforms, the price paid to the other negotiator should not be unreasonable.
