From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steven Creyelman (born Dendermonde, 25 October 1972)[1] is a Belgian-Flemish politician for Vlaams Belang (VB) and since 2019 an MP in the Chamber of Representatives.

Creyelman studied business engineering at EHSAL in Brussels. From 2001 to 2017, he also owned the web design company Webbreezer Solutions in Bruges and in 2009, became a webmaster for Vlaams Belang. He has also served as the spokesman and chairman for the party in the Dendermonde-Sint-Niklaas region.[2][3] In the 2019 Belgian federal election, Creyelman was elected to the Belgian federal parliament for the East Flanders region representing the VB.[4][5] Creyelman is also a councilor for Buggenhout municipal council.[6]

His brother is former senator Frank Creyelman, involved in Chinese espionage. In the wake of that scandal, Steven Creyelman resigned as Chairman of the Belgian Chambre of Representatives' standing committee on defense purchases and announced he would stand down as a candidate for Vlaams Belang at the next federal election.
