In Belgium, we are preparing for the European elections on June 9, as in most of the 27 countries of the Union.

But the logistics are even more complex in the country since the Belgians will vote in three elections! In addition to the European Parliament, they are renewing their federal parliament and those of the regions.

In the polls, the Flemish nationalists are expected to win the federal elections with the Vlaams Belang (extreme right), which could attract one in four voters in Flanders.

In Wallonia, the left is in the lead. In a poll published by several media on May 25, the Socialist Party received 25.4% of voting intentions, followed by the Reform Movement (liberals) with 20.8% and the Belgian Labor Party (extreme left) with 16. %.

The French-speaking parties are divided on the attitude to adopt in relation to the Flemish nationalists of the NVA, who would like to launch negotiations for a new reform of the Belgian state towards more federalism.
