Democratic Front of Francophones
- Democratic Front of Francophones
The Democratic Front of the Francophones ("Front Démocratique des Francophones", or "FDF"), is a French-speaking Belgian political party based in Brussels. It aims at defending and expanding the linguistic rights of French-speakers in and around Brussels. It has recently affiliated with the Mouvement Réformateur, a liberal alliance party. Until 1982, the FDF dominated Brussels' municipal politics. It is led by Deputy Olivier Maingain.
The FDF advocates extension of the bilingual status of the Brussels-Capital Region to many currently officially unilingual municipalities around Brussels (in Flemish Brabant), where a minority - but in some towns a majority - of the population is French-speaking. This would expand the public services in French of all French-speakers who live in those areas. The FDF advocates also the dismantling of several measures hindering the French-speaking citizens of those communes from using French in their contacts with the administration.
