Flemish nationalist

A Flemish nationalist is someone from the Flanders region of Belgium who advocates for greater recognition and autonomy for Flanders, often emphasizing its Dutch language and cultural identity. They may support increased political independence, ranging from greater regional powers within Belgium to full sovereignty. Their goal is to preserve and promote Flemish language, traditions, and interests, sometimes formulating policies to strengthen regional governance and reduce the influence of the central Belgian government. Flemish nationalism reflects a desire for self-determination and cultural affirmation within Belgium’s multilingual and diverse landscape.
