Volksunie was a Belgian political party, formed in 1954 as a successor to the Christian Flemish People's Union, an electoral alliance of Flemish nationalists.
Generally, however, the Volksunie prefered to position itself around the centre and saw itself as a coaliton of various shades of Flemish thought.
The acceptance of federalism by the Volkunie in the 1970s did not sit well with the party's right wing and a split became inevitable, particularly after the party entered the coalition government of Leo Tindemans.
