Explain “Community Government “ in Belgium.

Answer 1

Instructions: This is a 3 marks question so minimum 3 points have to be mentioned. Discuss how community governments are formed and why they were formed.

Answer: Community government is a government for each ethnic community. These community governments are elected by people belonging to one language community – Dutch, French and German speaking – no matter where they live. This government has the power to take decisions regarding matters relating to culture, education and language-related issues. This system of government helped to avoid civic strife between the two major communities of Belgium.
