Vlaams Belang Jongeren
Vlaams Belang Jongeren is the youth wing of the Vlaams Belang party. Until the conviction of the Vlaams Blok in 2004, the organisation was called Vlaams Blok Jongeren. When the party changed its name, so did the youth wing. The current chairman of VBJ is Filip Brusselmans, he replaced Bart Claes in 2020.
VBJ is a Flemish nationalist and conservative organisation that aims to group youth who want to contribute to the political program of Vlaams Belang. It claims to defend European values and culture.
Under the presidency of Tom Van Grieken VBJ was one of the founding members of YEAH or Young European Alliance for Hope. This organisation groups the youth wings of nationalist parties across Europe, such as the Front National de la Jeunesse, the Movimento Giovanni Padani and the Ring Freiheitlicher Jugend.
