The Changing Relationship Between N-VA and Vlaams Belang: Is Collaboration on the Horizon?

Really ? The N-VA is then ready to respond to the call of Vlaams Belang? “LThe party is moving in the right direction“, according to the Flemish number 1, but he further clarified”there are still obstacles at the moment. As the party presents itself today, it remains “no pasarán””, said the Minister-President once more.”

Regularly questioned regarding a possible crossing of the Rubicon, until now the N-VA has always kicked in. Considering in turn that the question was not on the agenda, that with the current Vlaams Belang, it was not possible. But in a few months, on the N-VA side, we went from “no never“, has “why not if“.

Bart De Wever calling on extremists to change, clean up their image, their message. Since then, the turbulent Dries Van Langhenoven, threatened by justice for his Schild en vriend movement, resigned from his mandate as Belang deputy; and Filip De Winter, long-time figurehead of Belang and front of Vlaams Blok, will no longer be head of the list.

And for Jan Jambon, Vlaams Belang seems to be starting to make the expected “efforts”. “JI see that Vlaams Belang is making a number of changes. It’s good, it’s going in the right direction, in my opinion. But there are also fundamental things. And there’s the personal attack… if you want to do a seduction dance, you shouldn’t attack the person you want to seduce so hard all the time.

So Jan Jambon is blowing hot and cold and clearly for the publication of marriage banns we are not there yet. However, the question seems less and less taboo within the N-VA. While the latest poll “The choice of the Belgians” RTBF – La Libre – Kantar credits Vlaams Belang with 23.3% of voting intentions, the N-VA would only be second party with 20.4%, which reinforces the probability that it will rather be up to Vlaams Belang to attract the N-VA into its net.

And faced with the sirens of Vlaams Belang, the Flemish nationalist party seems less and less unmoved.
