The National Front ((フランス語:Front national)) was a francophone Belgian far-right political party. The party's ideology advocated a strong unitary Belgian nationalism, strongly opposed immigration, and reached out to Flemish voters. The party's acting leader was Patrick Cocriamont. In the 2003 federal election, it won one seat in the Chamber of Representatives, with 2% of the vote. It also has two seats in the Senate. A 2006 poll showed that it had the backing of about 9.4% of the Walloon voters. Despite this poll it won in the 10 June 2007 federal elections, 1 out of 150 seats in the Chamber of Representatives and 1 out of 40 seats in the Senate. ==Development== The FN was established by Daniel Féret, a former member of Jeune Europe who subsequently was active with the populist Union Democratique du Travail.〔Piero Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', Oxford University Press, 2006, p. 129〕 The party clashed with the Party of New Forces (PFN) from its foundation as Féret sought to distance his group from the far-right but despite his efforts a number of extremist activists soon joined the FN.〔 The party's ideology soon became one of ultra-nationalism, xenophobia, racism and anti-Flemish sentiment, combined with a strong support for neo-liberal economics.〔 They also looked to their French namesake and followed many of their ideas, although the interest was not reciprocated as Jean-Marie Le Pen generally looked elsewhere in Belgium for allies.〔 In 1989 a number of PFN members switched to the FN due to internal difficulties in their party and as a result the FN again shifted policy, abandoning its earlier pro-NATO stance in favour opposition to both the USA and the Soviet Union.〔 After electing some local councillors in 1988 and 1989 the FN made a surprise breakthrough at the 1991 election by getting a member elected to parliament.〔Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', p. 130〕 The election caused a furore in Belgium and the other parties declared a Cordon sanitaire around the party.〔 In response the FN adopted a more anti-establishment and anti-politics attitude, which struck a chord with some voters, resulting in the party sending a member to the European parliament in 1994 and returning two members of parliament in 1995.〔Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', pp. 130-131〕 Despite these successes the FN was in a state of turmoil due to personality clashes and internal ideological differences, precipitating a long court case between two factions, both claiming use of the FN name.〔Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', p. 131〕 With most of their elected representatives leaving the part, the FN appeared moribund until in 1997 ''Agir'', a far-right party with support in Liège, merged into them following internal difficulties of their own. With the influx of new members they were able to regroup for the 1999 elections, gaining a new member of the Senate and three embers of the regional parliament.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Front (Belgium)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
