Organization Frontnacht: “we demand compensation”
According to him, there was nothing wrong with an earlier investigation. “I don’t understand. The City of Ypres has conducted a major investigation in advance. OCAD investigated this and then permission was given. Otherwise we would never have started. Now people are looking for nails at low water,” says organizer Wim De Wit.
“We also know that if you identify yourself as Flemish today, that is enough for many left-wing circles and woke supporters to be devils. I experience that every day. We are not supporters of neo-Nazis, but are just Flemish. And that is our full right. I respect everyone, am not racist, do not discriminate, but would also like to be respected.”
Financial downer
Front Night was mainly intended for young people who wanted to do something related to the front soldiers who fought during the First World War. “Because they cannot identify with the Yserwake, they wanted to organize a music festival. So that more young people would be involved.”
After the permission, the organization had recorded the bands and already incurred other costs. Deleting everything now means a financial downer. The organizer therefore demands compensation.
The organization will meet this evening to take any further steps.
