Bart De Wever, the leader of the Alliance néoflamande (EVN), the Independence Party, which won elections in 2010, seems to have blocked the functioning of Belgium, remains an enigma. Its popularity intrigue confuses its program, its ultimate objective is valued in different ways by his opponents. PS A French minister, author of a recent book on the national idea, as it deems necessary dialogue with it, associate it with the power and welcome it is not xenophobic.
Creep because somehow inevitable, Mr De Wever has not yet demonstrated its ability to forge a compromise, the key ingredient of kitchen delicate Belgian politics. The French writer Pierre Mertens himself is eager to confront separatist leader in the field of justice. And demonstrate that hiding perhaps under the veneer of respectability to an officer, feelings and resentments that should wake up as the courage that the memory of his opponents.
Mertens will end soon before a House of Brussels court, charged with ruling on a complaint that Mr. De Wever has launched against this intellectual, novelist, professor emeritus of international law, a friend of Milan Kundera and the great Flemish writer Hugo Claus . In December 2007, the author of the fabulous (great novel about the fascination of Nazism for a poet, crowned by the jury Medici in 1987 and just reissued Le Seuil) had referred to remarks that Mr.
Wever scandalized. At the turn of a free opinion published in Le Monde on 6 December 2007 and dedicated to "Countries that do love each other more" - his, of course - Mertens evoked "nauseating nationalism which, in the north, s' is radicalized without anyone really take care "and" a leading revisionist (...) resolutely holding the goatee a whole country.
" The program focused on leading Flemish because he had thought fit to attack the mayor (mayor) Socialist Antwerp, author of an official apology to the Jewish community in Belgium for the attitude of the police and the administration of the first city in Flanders during World War II. Of more than 25,000 Jews deported, only 1,300 returned to Canada in 1945.
Some 45% of Belgian Jews were sent to the camps, but that number climbed to 65% in Antwerp. It deserved a pardon, but Mr. De Wever spoke rather a political act "free" and stressed that the Jewish community tended to "exploit" the Holocaust. For him, Antwerp was more victim actor guilty during the Nazi occupation.
Chairman of the VER would then correct the output and in turn present an apology, but for Peter Mertens revelation was brutal: the historian Bart De Wever wanted to meet her way to the dark matter of the Flemish participation in the Holocaust. A francophone reproaches him in Paris to try to destroy the kingdom was not to upset the leader of the NVA.
Being called a "denialist" appeared, however, likely to annoy the many: since the inception of his training, he applied to distinguish it from the xenophobic far-right Vlaams Belang. A party of which he has managed to reduce the influence, but voters are indispensable, both to record the VER in time to realize that his other dream: to conquer the mayor of the port city in 2012.
The indulgence of the representatives of the Jewish community in the city will be also equally essential if it wants to achieve its ends. The Brussels public prosecutor has gradually turned to open this folder at high risk and highly symbolic. The judge never heard Peter Mertens and many believe that Mr De Wever, who now intends to take the reins of government can not negotiate, do not judge himself useful to translate Mertens before a court Assizes.
The separatist leader also held in high esteem the novel glare, where you can see a parable of the errors that led some of the Flemish nationalists are obsessed by their hatred of Belgian nationalism, to pay in the collaboration and antisemitism, whatever may be said, was very active ...
The public debate which aspires Mertens and Belgium have carefully avoided official may not take place. Too bad, because the key, there would finally the truth about a regime that a commission appointed by the Senate, explained in February 2007 that particularly "docile" against the occupier, it was only a Belgian variant of Vichy .
Author of extensive investigation (Strangers in the city. Antwerp and its Jewish (1880-1944), Ed Labor), Flemish historian Lieven Saerens himself had shown in 2005 how the German orders had been applied or exceeded in Antwerp. Justice, politicians, police and the church closed their eyes so that Jews, having long been stigmatized, "found themselves socially isolated and scared" as the few people who brought them aid.
Subsequently, showed Mr. Saerens, persecution of Jews became a taboo subject among the Flemish nationalists. And shed some of their leaders well and truly in denial. stroobants @ bbc. en Jean-Pierre Stroobants Article published in the edition of 03.05.11
