It insists on restoring total sovereignty to the Belgian state level by reverting Belgium to a unitary state , after decades of State reform in Belgium state structure reforms that made Belgium a Federation federal state since the 1970s contrary to Flemish nationalists who advocate independence of their region, and Walloon, Brussels and German speaking regionalists who advocate more autonomy to their respective regions. Belgian nationalists advocate the unity between all language groups in Belgium, and condemn each perceived Chauvinism chauvinistic or linguistic discrimination, advocate the knowledge of all official languages Dutch, French, German language German and a Multiculturalism multicultural , tolerant, strong feeling of citizenship. Belgian nationalism is mainly supported by French speaking politicians, alongside some socialist s, certain circles in Brussels , some sections of the far right and historically among fascist s. Though the majority of Flemings do not yet favor independence of their region, and as the Walloons, Brussels and the German speakers are strongly regionalist, there is no popular support in any region of Belgium, and political parties that support this ideology openly have not gained electoral support in recent years, so it remains much weaker than the secessionist and regional nationalisms of the ethnic groups.
