description: "Jules Destrée was a Walloon lawyer, cultural critic and socialist politician. The trials subsequent to the strikes of 1886 determined his commitment within the Belgian Labour Party. He wrote a Letter to the King in 1912, which is seen as the founding declaration of the Walloon movement. He is famous for his quote \"Il n'y a pas de Belges\", pointing to the lack of patriotic feelings in Flemings and Walloons, while pleading for some kind of federal state."
