I gave an interview to supplement investigative (Reporter) of the Flemish daily De Morgen (10/27/2007) that explains the particular problems arising from the delay language and family reunification can not be overcome without in particular through the obligation to learn a language of the country of residence. Proof? Most parents who were invited to pick up their kid-breaker sympathizer gray wolf in the police understood neither French nor Flemish. How do you explain that further demonstrations were illegal and that "young people" have committed acts of vandalism intolerable ? This is even more difficult than the Turkish media (mainly Hürriyet) have hardly mentioned the damage and victims into believing that the Belgian state police arrested anyone mentioning the word "Turkey". Worse, not one "responsible" political or associative in Belgium has dared to criticize (in Turkish) these young people proudly wearing the flag of the extreme right. From my side, the situation became unbearable. Threats and insults, family pressure and trial support in associations and Turkish coffee, I'm tired of having to explain basic principles of a democratic society to people who refuse any dialogue.
I was speaking recently with a friend. "Mehmet Listen, you're right but it is not the reason that applies in this case. In the case Kir too, you were right and justice given thee reason but also c ' is ultimately you who has lost. Look at the face it: Emir Kir has resulted in nothing, he can still walk around quietly with his driver while continuing to believe in the Turkish coffee that you on the attacked because he refused to recognize the Armenian genocide. He is the winner because he alone could change the line of PS on the Armenian genocide even if you dare never openly admit to the party headquarters. you reveal the presence of gray wolves from the list PS Schaerbeek? With Laurette Onkelinx, the whole apparatus of PS who hate you and disqualify you. You win in court against Kir is Philippe Moureaux who accuse of imbecility and libel. You translate the Holocaust denial politicians MR (Köse, Öztürk ,...), it is you who is accused of treason. TU concerning military service in Turkey a member SP.A is you are accused of spying. You denounce communalism of HRC, you automatically become persona non grata in the debates. TU concerning the bellicose rhetoric of Ergün Top ( CD & V) against Belgium, no reaction on the part of Yves Leterme. The guys are still in place, they are sometimes promoted but it was you who picked up at the end , "said my interlocutor.
The political stalemate, or a-political leaders of Belgium n has actually strengthened the discourse that authoritarian, undemocratic values and Holocaust denial on the ground in Brussels. An example: while the penalty of Holocaust denial has been blocked in the Senate (by PS and HRC), on the ground in Brussels are those who recognized the Armenian genocide have been punished by military . "Good , Mehmet, still you knew they would one day break your mouth after everything you've already been writing about the Armenian question. Regarding the owner of Armenian coffee they have contested, it seems that this person was found outside the embassy of Turkey while demonstrating for the recognition of the Armenian genocide. It is not quite white either! "Says one observer. Am I alone in worrying about this dangerous slip supported by political leaders of this country?
Leaders Do they realize the" model "policies they are currently promoting for simple short-term electoral calculations? Also, I'm still not convinced of the gain arising from the electoral campaign in the communitarian ethnic niche and I'm ready to make the pure electoral calculations to argue the opposite experience.
short, the political class and the clan system thus prevent the emergence of a fully independent investigative journalism groups pressure. " Belgium do not like mavericks my dear friend," had said my former professor at the ULB. " There is no market in French-speaking Belgium for the style of journalism that you are defending. You are already isolated, it will not be very difficult to definitively rule out the small world of journalism .
This will be my last paper on this blog "Mood allochthonous" I had started on 24/10/2003 ( I seem to hear a big "sigh" of relief ). The idea was to promote investigative reporting on political affairs in Belgium (not international) playing out of a maximum possible transparency. Meanwhile, I was tired of reading that "immigrants" as they were then as-it in the writings of some journalists or elected pigeaient there generally anything about the business "very foreign." The goal was to do "as the press" but describing things from a subjective point of view and arousing confessed interactivity with the audience. In no time, I felt to contribute constructively to policy debates.
So, I stop this blog, a victim of its success, to offer a false "normal life" in my entourage. I do not fear the system or network but I especially want to address the concerns of those around me by putting an end to this exciting experience of journalism online. The threats and insults that I get make me laugh but I generally understand that my entourage does not share my views, nor my sense of humor. I'll keep writing ... but on other media.
Thanking you all have followed the few "scoops" on this blog (thank you also for your comments amusing, informative, surprising or shocking) I send you my most sincere greetings.
