	Vlaams Belang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vlaams Belang, and the former Vlaams Blok is a very divisive issue in Belgium, particularly in Flanders.
		Vlaams Belang participates with Dutch MP Hilbrand Nawijn, formerly member of the LPF-parliamentary group of the late Pim Fortuyn in a common think tank, named after Marnix van Sint-Aldegonde, a former Antwerp mayor who had to flee to the Netherlands after the capitulation of his city to the Spaniards in the 16th century.
		Vlaams Belang underlined that Hirsi Ali did the statement on the occasion of a debate organised by the left-liberal think tank Liberales, whose president is Dirk Verhofstadt.

	Flemish Block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vlaams Blok is particularly strong in and around Antwerp, where it received thirty-three percent of the votes in the last municipal elections.
		In 2003, a Vlaams Blok politician was dropped from a delegation of Flemish parliamentarians due to visit the Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly after strongly criticizing the SNP [2], [3].
		The Vlaams Blok appealed the court decision, but the ruling was confirmed on November 9, 2004 by the Belgian High Court, effectively sentencing the party to abandoning the racist elements of its program and paying a fine of about 40,000 Euros.

	Belgium: Vlaams Blok - new name, same racism
		Even though the court case was not directly against the Vlaams Blok, it was generally seen as a conviction for racism of the Vlaams Blok itself.

		Belang envisions some homogenous 'European' state, and would turn the wheels of globalisation and history backwards to the detriment of its own society.
		But, where the Vlaams Belang can make a huge difference, is on the Flemish-nationalistic side and they can do so within the bounderies of the EU and international law.
		Just as the 'cordon sanitaire', also the prosecution of the Vlaams Belang and the proposal to withdraw public funding from 'rascist' parties, are ideas of Wallonia.

		The Vlaams Blok, a Flemish nationalist organization and the largest political party in Belgium, has reorganized under the name Vlaams Belang after being banned by Belgium's current Jew-dominated, communist-leaning, French- sympathizing government.
		The Vlaams Blok has terrorified the Jews who dominate the current European Union by not only asserting a nationalist program in favor of Belgium's Flemish, but also in denouncing internationalism and the multi-cultural immigration which has turned Belgium's two largest city's into crime-ridden sewers.
		The ideology of the Vlaams Belang can be described, in the continental- European semantic context, as a "nationalist party of the right" (as opposed to the collectivist, etatist "left").
