DéFI
The Democratic Front of the Francophones (Front Démocratique des Francophones, or FDF), is a Brussels French-speaking Belgian political party. It aims to defend the rights of French-speaking people in and around Brussels. It has recently affiliated with the Mouvement Réformateur, a liberal alliance party. Until 1982, the FDF dominated Brussels' municipal politics. It is led by Deputy Olivier Maingain.
Its language policy leads to much criticism from Dutch speaking citizens. The FDF advocates extension of the bilingal status of the Brussels-Capital Region to many currently unilingual municipalities in Flanders. This would then allow all French-speakers who chose residence in those areas in Flanders to receive full public services in French.
