(MENAFN) A new far-right francophone political party, taking its name from US President Donald Trump, has been launched in Belgium ahead of the country’s 2029 federal and European elections, local media report.

The party, officially called Trump—an acronym for Tous Reunis pour l'Union des Mouvements Populistes (All United for the Union of Populist Movements)—is positioned by its leaders as the successor to the recently dissolved Chez Nous movement and, more broadly, Belgium’s former National Front.

The formation of the party was first reported by Brussels-based outlet Bruzz.

Salvatore Nicotra, a former chair of the National Front, leads the new movement. Its executive committee includes Emanuele Licari, who was previously on the electoral list of the Flemish far-right Vlaams Belang in Brussels but was dismissed for openly “glorifying” fascism.

Nicotra explained that naming the party after Trump was a deliberate choice. “Donald Trump is the symbol of populism. He immediately shows what we stand for,” he told Bruzz.

Describing the movement as a “right-wing populist party with a social dimension,” Nicotra said that roughly 40% of the platform aligns with the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB), another 40% with Vlaams Belang, and the remaining 20% is unique to the party.

Unlike Vlaams Belang, which supports Flemish separatism, Nicotra emphasized that the Trump party promotes a unified vision for Belgium.

The new party plans to contest the 2029 federal and European elections, and is also considering fielding candidates in regional and municipal races. Its official launch is scheduled for November 30.
