[email protected] Abstract Just a few months after the municipal elections of October 2018, the legislative, regional and European elections of May 26 reveal important electoral changes in the Brussels-Capital Region. This contribution presents and analyzes the electoral and political dynamics of the parties competing in this triple competition. The authors also highlight a form of intra- Brussels political exacerbation between the south-east and the north and west of the Brussels-Capital Region.
