    Solution:

  • In Belgium, the Dutch-speaking form the majority in the country but a minority in the capital city of Brussels, while the French speakers are the minority in the country but a majority in the capital. The minority French-speaking community was both rich and powerful in Belgium.
  • However, the leaders of Belgium adopted a power-sharing arrangement which promoted equal representation of the communities and recognised cultural differences and regional diversities by accommodating both groups. The Belgian government did not favour either of the communities. The reason is thus not true.
