0110 Controversy

The event preceded the 2006 municipal elections in Belgium by just one week, thus sending a political message as well. The Belgian municipal elections, 2006 took place on Sunday October 8, 2006. ...

The right wing opposition party Vlaams Belang wrote an open letter to famous Flemish artists, such as Clouseau, Helmut Lotti, Will Tura, Johan Verminnen and Laura Lynn, who where announced to participate, asking not to do so^[6]. The party requested the boycot because the event "only targets Vlaams Belang"^[7]. One Vlaams Belang council member has called upon the readers of his web log to start a "mail bombardment" to the concerned artists.^[8] Critics speak of an intimidation campaign by the party.^[9] On a party congress on 1 October, Philip Dewinter was quoted saying that "if it really were concerts against intolerance, the Vlaams Belang would have to be guest of honour", referring to the cordon sanitaire against the party.^[10] Vlaams Belang (English: Flemish Interest) is a Belgian political party. ... Flanders (Dutch: ) has several main meanings: the social, cultural and linguistical, scientific and educational, economical and political community of the Flemings; some prefer to call this the Flemish community (others refer to this as the Flemish nation) which is, with over 6 million inhabitants, the majority of all Belgians; a...

Intimidation is the act of making others do what one wants through fear. ... Cordon sanitaire derives from the French for quarantine line, and is usually a barrier that is implemented to stop a disease or something undesirable from spreading and gaining momentum. ...

Vlaams Belang sees this as a direct attack by the establishment^[11], because the event is sponsored by the Belgian National Lottery. The National Lottery however decided upon the sponsoring contract before the political content was clear^[12].

The Antwerp mayor Patrick Janssens (SP.a) disapproved of the concerts^[13]. The Vlaams Belang party also refers^[14] to the fact that the official website of the event specifically states that "Flanders deserves better than extreme right"^[15] and that Tom Barman, the main organisor, had already announced in 2005 that he was planning a concert "against Vlaams Belang" in October 2006^[16].
