Leder av Vlaams Belang, Filip de Winter, den sosialistiske borgermesteren i Antwerpen og en dyrevernaktivist, har alle tre mottatt drapstrusler i form av brev med kuler. Avisene tror det er fordi de har markert seg som motstandere av at muslimer slakter dyr hjemme.

Antwerp’s post office last week intercepted the threats, intended for Filip De Winter, leader of the far-right Vlaams Belang, Antwerp’s socialist mayor Patrick Janssens, and animal rights activist Michel Vandenbosch.
«I suspect the letters are a reaction to our recent actions against domestic ritual slaughters,» Vandenbosch, chairman of Belgian animal rights group Gaia, told Flemish paper De Morgen.
The three have police protection and the public prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation, newspapers said.
Vlaams Belang leader Filip De Winter told De Morgen: «If someone sends you a bullet, the message is quite clear.» (Reuters)
