French-English-Flemish= multiculturalism

Hmm,if I weren't multicultural, I wouldn't be here, would I?

Brusselsjournal, who's editor's wife is a Vlaams Belang MP and here's what I found about them:

In Belgium in 2001, Roeland Raes, the ideologue and vice-president of one of the country's largest political parties, the Vlaams Belang (formerly named Vlaams Blok, Flemish Bloc), gave an interview on Dutch TV where he cast doubt over the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. In the same interview he also questioned the scale of the Nazis' use of gas chambers and the authenticity of Anne Frank's diary. In response to the media assault following the interview, Raes was forced to resign his position but vowed to remain active within the party.Three years later, the Vlaams Blok was convicted of racism and chose to disband. Immediately afterwards, it legally reformed under the new name Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) with the same leaders and the same membership.

Revealing that for TB, GBaikie and SDAI, the only time they link to a Belgian source, it's through this one.
