03/01/2010 :: Last February, the former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt publicly criticized the French government of Nicolas Sarkozy because the latter considers taking measures to preserve France’s national identity. Polls indicate that the indigenous peoples of many European countries, not just France, are worried about the impact of immigration on their own national identity.
Verhofstadt is a Fleming but, unfortunately, he is a typical Belgian politician. As Belgium is an artificial construct without a national identity, these politicians have never cared for the preservation of the national identity of Flanders. On the contrary, Belgium has always seen Flemish national identity as a mortal enemy to the Belgian state.
In a similar way, today some see the European Union as a superstate in the making which has to erase the national identities of the member states. Verhofstadt, who is currently the group leader of the Liberals in the European Parliament, is one of them.
The Vlaams Belang was founded to defend the identity of Flanders against Belgium. It also defends Flanders against those who use the EU as an instrument to undermine our identity, as well as those who see immigration as a weapon to achieve the same end.
