Tom Van Grieken lashes out at Bart De Wever at New Year’s reception, before he leaves for Trump’s swearing-in ceremony

After the cordon sanitary was broken in 2024, nationalism, also worldwide, has the wind in its sails. That was the central message from Vlaams Belang chairman Tom Van Grieken on Sunday at the New Year’s reception in Ranst (province of Antwerp). “2025 will therefore be the year of freedom,” says Van Grieken. “We participate in the management of Ninove, Ranst, Brecht and Izegem, and that is just the beginning.”
