French Community of Belgium

The French Community of Belgium operates in Wallonia and Brussels regions, serving approximately 4.5 million French-speaking citizens through administrative and cultural programs.

Constitutional reforms in 1980 established the French Community as a separate entity within Belgium, granting autonomy over cultural, educational, and linguistic matters.

The Parliament of the French Community, consisting of 94 members, implements decrees that regulate education, arts, media, and language policies for French speakers.

Citizens access community services through regional offices located throughout Wallonia and Brussels, offering support for education, cultural activities, and social programs.

The French Community maintains parallel administrative functions with other Belgian governmental structures while focusing specifically on French-speaking populations.
