A History of the Flemish Far-Right - Episode 2

In this brand new series, Skander is joined by Tim Marren as they deep dive into Belgian history.

 

This is the second episode of a 4-part series on the origins and rise of the Flemish Far-Right, covering everything from the Belgian Revolution to today's Vlaams Belang. Join us as we trace our steps back to understand how the Flemish Far-Right in Belgium managed to gain such a strong position in contemporary politics. 

 

Our episode begins as the dust of WW2 settles, and the Flemish Far Right seeks to come out of the shadows, to gain a solid hold on the politics of the modern period. Episode 2 covers everything from 1948 to 1979, from the birth of the VolksUnie to Karel Dillen's creation of the Vlaams Blok.
