What are Documents politiques?

CRISP provides the public, with information on the composition of each of Belgium’s national/federal, Community or Regional governments, as well as a list of leaders of each parliamentary assembly. A summary timetable shows the dates of the various elections.

What is the Actionnariat wallon?

This site lists companies operating in Wallonia. For each company, it provides some key data, as well as all the information available on its shareholding. That makes it possible to identify the decision-making centers which control these companies.

What is Vocabulaire politique?

This site offers a French-language glossary of terms which are used in Belgian political debates. A short definition makes it possible to quickly understand the term or expression. A more developed definition gives more depth to the concept, puts it in perspective or illustrates it. Cross-references allow you to navigate from one entry to another.
