The Democratic Front of the Francophones (Front Démocratique des Francophones, or FDF), is a Brussels French-speaking Belgian political party. It aims to defend the rights of French-speaking people in and around Brussels. It has recently affiliated with the Mouvement Réformateur, a liberal alliance party. Until 1982, the FDF dominated Brussels' municipal politics. It is led by Deputy Olivier Maingain.
The FDF advocates extension of the bilingal status of the Brussels-Capital Region to many currently officially unilingual municipalities around brussels (in flemish brabant), where a large share - in several cases a majority - of the population is French-speaking. This would then allow all French-speakers who live in those areas to receive public services in French. The FDF advocates also the dismantling of several measures aimed at the French-speaking citizens of those municipalities in their contacts with the administration.
