Voorpost


Voorpost is an ethnic nationalist group founded in Flanders, Belgium by Karel Dillen in 1976 as a splinter from the Volksunie.
Voorpost pursues an irredentist ideal of a Greater Netherlands, a nation state that would unite all Dutch-speaking territories in Europe.
The organisation has staged rallies on various topics, against Islam and mosques, against leftist organizations, against drugs, against pedophilia, and against socialism.
Members include Vlaams Blok ideologue Roeland Raes and Vlaams Belang politician Luc Vermeulen.
Bart Vanpachtenbeke is the leader of Voorpost. As of 2013 Nick van Mieghem is action leader for Flanders, replacing Luc Vermeulen. Florens van der Kooi is action leader for the Netherlands.
Several members of the organisation were also members of the VMO, which was banned in 1983 due to several violent attacks against immigrants and left-wing organisations.
