De Standaard (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈstɑndaːrt], lit.'The Standard') was a quality Flemish daily newspaper published in Belgium by Mediahuis (formerly Corelio and VUM). It was traditionally a Christian-Democratic paper, associated with the Christian-Democratic and Flemish Party, and in opposition to the Socialist Flemish daily De Morgen. In recent years De Standaard has renounced its catholic ties and became a mouthpiece of the progressive Left in Flanders.
