RESIST is an electoral list formed as a result of the coalition between the Marxist–Leninist Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB; Partij van de Arbeit) and the Arab European League (AEL' Arabisch-Europese Liga) for the Belgian federal election, 2003 in the Flemish Region.[1] RESIST was led by PTB lawyer Zohra Othman, herself an ethnic Arab of Moroccan extraction, and received 10,059 votes.[2] Consequently, AEL distanced itself from PTB and formed a new party called the Moslim Democratische Partij.[3]
