German People's Union
The "Vlaams Blok" maintained good contacts with nationalist parties throughout Europe and other countries. The "Vlaams Blok" did traditionally have the closest contacts with Dutch and South African far-right groups, including the Dutch Centre Party '86, the Centre Democrats and "Voorpost", and the South African Boerestaat Party. In the mid-1980s, it also established close relations particularly with the French National Front, as well as the German People's Union, The Republicans and National Democratic Party of Germany. In the 1990s, it supported the minor Dutch Block party, which had modeled itself directly on the "Vlaams Blok".
