New Flemish Alliance (N-VA)

The New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) is a political party in Belgium that promotes regional independence for Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern region. It advocates for greater autonomy and decentralization of government powers, aiming to strengthen Flemish identity and interests. The N-VA combines nationalist ideas with conservative policies on economics and social issues. It seeks to reform Belgium’s political structure, reducing federal authority and increasing regional control, often emphasizing economic growth, stronger borders, and self-governance for Flanders within a reformed Belgian state.
