		Yes, I still call them Flemish Block, even though their name is Flemish Interest now, but it's still the same party, represented by the same people and the same values.
		However, the Block members had seen this coming for quite some time (due to all the media attention, it was pretty hard to miss), and started marketing their new name and logo even before the official launch of the new party.
		However, it is clear to me that the Flemish Block/Interest-Brussels Journal are right in pointing out the dangers of Islam in Europe, and in criticising those on the Politically Correct Left (or, as I would see it, Pseudo-Left) who are incapable of understanding and acknowledging that there IS a threat.

		In 1983, Siegfried Verbeke had established his Flemish Foundation for Free Historical Research (Stichting Vrij Historisch Onderzoek, VHO), which ever since was focusing on promoting historical research and publications that bring the writing of history about World War II in general and the so-called Holocaust in particular into accord with the facts.
		It may be expected that the German authorities will set a precedent by sentencing him to the maximum penalty of confiscation of his property and five years imprisonment.
		This is so because the Vlaamse Blok is against mass immigration, for an independent Flemish nation, and many of its leading members have revisionists viewpoints.
