Brussels: Europe and the Arabs

The far-right opposition party Vlaams Belang is still the largest party in Flanders (the Flemish-speaking half of the country) with 22.7 percent in a new poll conducted by several newspapers and television stations including Het Latest Neus, VTM Nieuws, Le Soir and RTL.
The prime minister's party, the liberal war "Openfelde," barely achieved 8.3 percent.
In second place was the Vlaams Belang party, the Flemish N-VA Alliance, with 21.8 percent.
  The popularity of the socialist Vooruit party increased to 16.8%, and the hard-left Labor party PVDA increased even better than in 2019: it gained 10.3%.
Among the parties that clearly fell behind was the party of Prime Minister Alexander de Croo's VLD. If elections were held today, the party could still convince 8.3 percent of the electorate. By comparison: with 13.5 percent of the vote in 2019.
The CD&V Christian Democrats fell to 10.7 percent.
Finally, polls show the Greens pulling back, with a rating of 7.6 percent, nearly two percentage points below the election result.
In the survey respondents' question as to who best represents the Flemish people, 17 percent of the respondents answered Voroute "Forward" President Connor Russo. It is followed by N-VA leader Bart de Wever with 14 percent and Vlaams Belang chairman Tom Van Grieken coming in third with 13 percent.
  Prime Minister Alexandre de Croo is not among the favourites, but he is the most popular in Brussels.
The survey was conducted online from 29 May to 6 June among 2,600 Belgian adults, including 1,000 Flemings. The maximum margin of error is 3.1 percent in Flanders.
