Roosmarijn Beckers (born 23 October, 1986) is a Flemish politician and a member of the Flemish parliament for Vlaams Belang.
Career
Beckers is the daughter of former Vlaams Belang politician Marleen Govaerts. She obtained a master's degree in history from the Catholic University of Leuven and was a history teacher before working as an assistant in her husband's law firm.[1]
In 2006 Beckers was elected to the municipal council of Sint-Truiden for Vlaams Belang, but decided to leave politics for a period because she considered Vlaams Belang to be misogynistic.[2] In 2019, she was encouraged to return to the party by Tom Van Grieken and because she felt disappointed with the New Flemish Alliance party which she had switched her support to.[3] In 2019, she was elected to the Flemish parliament for the Limburg constituency.[1][4] She is also an opinion columnist for the blog site Doorbraak.[5]
