The president of the European Parliament has notified MEP Frank Vanhecke, former president of the Flemish pro-independence party Vlaams Belang, that the Belgian authorities have asked with haste to lift the immunity of MEP Frank Vanhecke to be able to prosecute him on the basis of the racism law.

 Minister of Justice asks urgently lifting parliamentary immunity F. Vanhecke
Frank Vanhecke was to write the offending text in no way personally involved, except as chief editor, a job that he as chairman of the Vlaams Belang automatically recorded for a few hundred regional magazines.
Frank Vanhecke was bij het schrijven van de gewraakte tekst op geen enkele wijze persoonlijk betrokken, tenzij dan als verantwoordelijke uitgever, een taak die hij als voorzitter van het Vlaams Belang automatisch opnam voor een paar honderd regionale tijdschriften.
Bovendien heeft de eigenlijke auteur van het artikel zich spontaan bij het parket gemeld, zodat de vervolging van Frank Vanhecke absurd is omdat een verantwoordelijke uitgever volgens de Belgische Grondwet in principe niet mag vervolgd worden wanneer de auteur bekend is.
