Vlaams Belang continues “informal” relationship with the BNP….
BNP fails to find allies to form new bloc in Europe

Mr Griffin, along with his colleague Andrew Brons, had been in talks with Hungary’s far-right Jobbik party; France’s National Front; Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and Ataka, the nationalist Bulgarian party.

Their plans to forge links with other parties, such as Italy’s Northern League, failed because other Right-wing groupings feared that the BNP’s controversial reputation would lead to isolation.

“We will remain in the unattached members working informally with some of the groups such as the Front National and Vlaams Belang,” said Mr Griffin.
