Belgium: Interior Minister says anti-discrimination body has lost credibility

Jan Jambon, Minister of the Interior, was interviewed by the Jewish paper Joods Actueel.


In the interview, Jambon said that the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism (CEOOR), an anti-discrimination government agency, has lost its credibility.  According to Jambon, the CEOOR is very sensitive when it comes to Muslims, but not when it comes to Jews.

As for antisemitism, Jambon says that antisemitism in Belgium today is not native to Belgian society but is imported from the Middle East.


It's so easy to blame others, isn't it.
