>Thanks to the data collected by Adlens, it is possible to establish that this social networking campaign cost at least 160,000 euros. However, the far-right party refuses to specify the total cost of the operation, including the cost of a flag and shipping.
>According to Benjamin Biard, research fellow at the CRISP research center, this type of campaign by Vlaams Belang is not new, and serves a dual purpose: “Firstly, it helps to reaffirm or exacerbate the sense of Flemish identity, since these flags are intended to be displayed, hanging from balconies for example. Above all, it provides a whole series of data on the people who order this flag, which is not officially the Flemish flag, but the nationalist flag stripped of its red color.”
All with tax money!
