Voorpost

Voorpost ("Outpost" in English) is a "volksnationalist" ("Volknationalist") group founded in Belgium. Voorpost has the vision of Dietsland, a political entity that will unite all Dutch-speaking territories in Europe. Voorpost functions in South Africa among the Afrikaner population through "Die Dietse Federatie", which is linked to the Netherlands branch of Voorpost. Voorpost also claims to have a following in French Flanders.

Another key element in Voorpost's political stance is its strong links with prominent Holocaust deniers like Siegfried Verbeke. Vlaams Blok ideologist Roeland Raes and Vlaams Belang politicians like Luc Vermeulen are members of Voorpost. The group sees the present Belgian monarchy as a puppet of France and assumes that the House of Orange-Nassau is the legitimate dynasty to rule over the realm of "Dietsland". In this sense, Voorpost is an Orangist organisation. The organisation is seen by some as a continuation of the Vlaamse Militanten Orde, which was outlawed in 1983 for being a private militia.nl icon [http://www.demorgen.be/archief/artikel.html?i=MTYwMDk=&log_query_id=1694876&articletable=artikels2006&keyword=Voorpost%20Vlaams%20Belang Het gewelddadige DNA van het Vlaams Belang] ("The violent DNA of the Vlaams Belang"), De Morgen, 20 May 2006 (provided link needs subscription).]
