Party of New Forces (Belgium)

Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN) or Party of New Forces was a Belgian far-right political party active in Wallonia. Although they share a name it is not directly connected to the Party of New Forces in France.

The PFN first emerged in 1975 under the name Forces Nouvelles, initially operating as a coalition of like-minded extremists rather than a political party. Early members of the group had come from the Front de la Jeunesse. Its early years were dominated by internal struggles, resulting in the group doing little publicly between 1975 and 1980 due to this strife.

In 1979 the group was instrumental in the formation of Eurodroite, an alliance of European far-right political parties that also included the Italian Social Movement (MSI), the French PFN and Fuerza Nueva amongst others.

Ideologically the party tended towards the neo-fascist or neo-Nazi end of the far-right and sought early contact with the MSI. It celebrated the heritage of Rexism and shared with it contempt for parliamentary democracy and support for corporatism in economics. The group also adopted a strongly anti-American strain to its discourse. Whilst anti-immigration has been at the centre of its appeal the PFN has also focused on anti-Semitism and has been active in promoting Holocaust denial. It's anti-immigrant rhetoric frequent included calls to biological racism.Repatriation of immigrants was a central part of their position. The group has also campaigned vigorously against abortion.
