🌍 Regional differences: despite shared trends, some distinctions surfaced between the two language communities. Migration and security, driven largely by Vlaams Belang, took more spotlight in Flanders, while these issues held less sway in Francophone Belgium.

🔄 Shifts in focus: compared to the pre-campaign period, we observed a decline in attention to energy and environmental topics, as expected. Instead, socio-economic issues surged to the forefront.

💬 Top issues: socio-economic issues dominated discussions across the political spectrum. Interestingly, migration only emerged as a hot-button issue for Vlaams Belang in Flanders, while it barely registered in Francophone Belgium, and among other Flemish parties.
