Vlaams Belang is a political party in Belgium that primarily advocates for the interests of the Flemish community. Founded in 2004, it emerged from the former Vlaams Blok party, which was dissolved due to legal issues related to racism. The party promotes Flemish nationalism, emphasizing autonomy for the Flemish Region and a reduction in immigration. The party is known for its right-wing positions, particularly on issues like immigration and law enforcement. Vlaams Belang has gained significant support in recent years, becoming a prominent voice in Flemish politics and often participating in regional and federal elections.
