Chez Nous (French pronunciation:[ʃenu];lit. 'Our own house') was a Belgianfar-right political party founded by Jérôme Munier in October 2021. It was active within the French-speakingWalloon region of the country,[6][3][7][4][8][9][5] and dissolved in November 2025.
The party was founded inHerstal by Jérôme Munier and Gregory Vanden Bruel in October 2021, both former members of thePeople's Party (PP). Chez Nous also brought together former members of theReformist Movement and theDestexhe Lists.[10][11]
After its founding, FrenchNational Rally leaderJordan Bardella gave the party authorization to use the acronym "FN" as well as a copy of the National Rally flame in the Belgian tricolour. This had previously been the logo and name of the BelgianNational Front although other parties were not legally permitted to use the acronym FN. However, Chez Nous said they would use their own name and logo.[12]
Other French-speaking parties in Belgium announced they would impose acordon sanitaire on the party, similar to the policy used against theVlaams Belang party. Nevertheless, political communications expert Reinout Van Zandycke noted that of all the parties in Wallonia, Chez Nous had become the most active and popular party on social media and digital spaces by 2023.[13]
Chez Nous participated in the2024 Belgian federal election, but finished in each province below the 5% required to win a seat, with its highest score being 3.46% inLiège Province.[14] In the concurrentregional elections, Chez Nous won 2.83% of the popular vote and no seats in theWalloon Parliament.[14]
In September 2024, it was reported that the party was on the verge of implosion due to internal conflict, which included an attempt to oust Jérôme Munier.[15][16] The party nonetheless participated in the2024 Belgian local elections, where it won one municipal council seat inMouscron.[17] Salvatore Nicotra, who was previously involved with the party, said that Munier was "nowhere to be seen" three months before the local elections.[18] Following the local elections, Munier was reported to have joinedVlaams Belang in 2025.[19] By November 2025, the party was officially disbanded, and Nicotra announced theTRUMP party as its continuation.[18][2]
Chez Nous was supported byVlaams Belang, theNational Rally and the DutchParty for Freedom.[20] In 2021, the party and Vlaams Belang entered an agreement in which VB would not field candidates within the French-speaking electorate and instead endorse Chez Nous in Wallonia.[21][22][23]
Some of the party's positions included:[24]
Political scientist Benjamin Biard has described the party as a Francophone equivalent to Vlaams Belang in certain respects.[25]
When it was created, the political party organized a meeting inHerstal but it was canceled despite the authorizations already given by the mayor.[26][27] According to Chez Nous, 270 people were expected for the event. Severalanti-fascist group meetings have taken place in the region in order to cancel the arrival of Chez Nous.
Following this decision, the party still held a press conference inEnghien. Leaders from theVlaams Belang and theNational Rally spoke during the press conference.[28]
On 5 February 2023, a party meeting was to be held inGilly in theCharleroi region but it was banned by MayorPaul Magnette one day before it was scheduled to begin.[29]
In March 2023, local left-wing and anti-fascist groups demanded thatNamur MayorMaxime Prévot ban the party from the city and declare Namur an anti-fascist zone. Prévot agreed that Namur should be an anti-fascist city but did not endorse any accompanying motions to censor the party.[30] In June 2023, municipal councilors of thePS,Workers' Party of Belgium,Ecolo andLes Engagés inMons voted to ban the party from holding events in the city while theReformist Movement voted against.[31]
On March 30, a party conference was scheduled to again take place in Gilly with guest speakers to includeGerolf Annemans,Virginie Joron and Alice Cordier (co-founder ofCollectif Némésis). The event was again banned by Paul Magnette who said it would risk public order. However, co-founder of the party Gregory Vanden Bruel denounced the ban as an attack on democracy. The decision was also attacked by Vlaams Belang who called it "democracy à laPS" and it was also met with some criticism from other Flemish politicians.[32] Chez Nous attempted to hold a new event inCuesmes, however this was also banned by the Mayor Nicolas Martin after confrontations between police, party members and anti-fascist activists.[33]
On June 9, 2023 the party held a gathering inLiège.[34]
Despite restrictions against the party, French media channelTV Libertés held interviews with Jérome Munier.[35] The party also established a large online presence and has moved to form university campus groups.[36]
