In Belgium, which is governed by a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, the majority of respondents to the survey conducted for media outlets Le Soir, HLN, RTL and VTM said that they favor the continuation of the monarchy headed by the king.
While this rate was 57 percent across the country, the rate of those who wanted a republican administration instead of the royal government was determined as 28 percent.
In Belgium, which has a federal structure, it was seen that the supporters of the monarchy were more in the French-speaking Walloon region and the capital Brussels region. In both regions, 63 percent of the people stated that they wanted the continuation of the monarchy.
In the Flemish region, the rate of those who were in favor of the monarchy was 52 percent.
King Philippe sits on the throne, which has a more symbolic position in Belgium, which was founded in 1831. Philippe, 63, the 8th king of the country, took the throne in 2013 due to his father’s health condition.
