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 .
Its language policy leads to much criticism from Dutch speaking citizens. The FDF advocates extension of the bilingal status of the Brussels-Capital Region to many currently unilingual municipalities in Flanders. This would then allow all French-speakers who chose residence in those areas in Flanders to receive full public services in French.
