Vlaams Blok is a right wing
Flemish nationalist political party which rejects the state of
Belgium, calling for political independence for the Flemish part of the country. It tends to also campaign on '
euronationalist' themes such as
immigration. It is led by
Filip de Winter[?]. It made large electoral gains at the expense of the CDV in the
2003 elections.
The party has been characterised by the international media as being neo-nazi and racist in nature.
