| | Live From Brussels: Thursday: Free-Speech Debate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) |
 | | This Thursday I plan on attending a debate about free speech organised by Radio 1, the main state-funded radio channel in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. |
 | | It promises to be an interesting affair, with Hugo Coveliers (VLD), Bart De Wever (N-VA), Mia Doornaert (journalist from newspaper De Standaard), Taouil Nordin (imam), Rik Pinxten (teaching at the University Ghent) and Anissa Temsamani (Sp.a - Spirit). |
 | | The speakers range from left to right, with the notable absence of the Vlaams Belang (the ex-Vlaams Blok), a party that I would imagine has some words to say on the subject of free speech, having just been banned and re-established due to legal actions brought about by their words. |
