Tom Vandendriessche (born 27 October 1978) is a Belgian politician and businessman currently serving as a Member of the European Parliament for the Vlaams Belang.

In this context, he used the controversial term omvolking to describe the demographic shift as a result of migration, based on the quote of European Commissioner Ylva Johansson, who claimed that the EU needs a million new migrants per year.

As a solution to the demographic and economical challenges of the future, he proposes investments in education, infrastructure, technology and innovation combined with a family-friendly government policy.

The party opted for a clear choice for the Rhinelandmodel, promoting a free market economy with social corrections.

Vandendriessche is one of the proponents of a motion of a resolution on the European Green Deal, calling for a broader civil discourse on the topic.

He claims the woke movement to be a polarising threat to the rule of law and equality of citizens, creating a new hierarchy of rights and privileges, discriminating against the majority population.

He points to renaming or outright banning christian and traditional symbols and feasts as a woke attack which mussed be pushed back.
