Volksunie (People's Union, VU) was a
Belgian political party, formed in 1954 as a successor to the "Christian Flemish People's Union", an electoral alliance of
Flemish nationalists.The party initially proved successful and had members elected to the Chamber of Representatives (five) and the
Senate (two) of the
Belgian Federal Parliament in 1961. The party continued to grow in stature and reached the 11.0
t the national level in 1978 elections, gaining 21 representatives. Generally, however, the Volksunie preferred to position itself around the
centre and saw itself as a coalition of various shades of Flemish thought.
