If you search for the profile of the Vlaams Belang chairman in the search bar on X, the former Twitter, you will no longer find the profile of Tom Van Grieken. The platform has set a search suggestion ban. This means that the profile still exists, but no longer appears among the suggestions. According to the politician, this has everything to do with “false reporting” after he posted about the images of the violence in Zelzate that have been circulating on the internet since last Wednesday.
Those images also reached Elon Musk, the CEO of X, so that he even responded “Messed up” to a message in which Van Grieken calls the images “repugnant” and thinks it is “time for Vlaams Belang”. Striking: Van Grieken’s tweet is no longer visible.
According to Van Grieken, these reports were made by his opponents. “True face of the tolerant left: Silencing political opponents,” he tweeted.
It is not yet clear when the profile of the party chairman will appear again among the suggestions.
