Issue Of Amnesty
Raised In Belgium
Brussels (JTA) — The
monarch has aroused con-
troversy and raised painful
moral questions about
whether Belgians who col-
laborated with the Nazis
should be granted amnesty.
The issue arose in a New
Year's speech in which King
Albert recalled that his re-
cently deceased brother,
King Baudoin, had hinted at
forgiveness and
"reconciliation between all
citizens."
At the end of his speech,
King Albert remembered
that his brother said in 1990
that "in the framework of
peace between communities,
measures that could con-
tribute to reconciliation
between all citizens must be
studied."
The remark has been
interpreted by some as a new
appeal for clemency for those
Belgians who helped the
Nazi regime during the war.
The new interpretation
carries weight because this
year is the 50th anniversary
of Belgium's liberation from
the Nazis.
The question is not new.
Polemic over amnesty for
collaborators has created an
ideological split over the
years, dividing the Flemish
and the French-speaking
part of the country, even
though there were equal
numbers of collaborators in
both parts of the country.
After World War II,
405,067 files were opened,
53,005 persons were con-
demned and 2,940 death
penalties were pronounced
by special courts. Some 242
persons were executed for
collaborating with the
Nazis.
Over the years, the
Flemish Nationalist Move-
ment has put pressure on the
authorities to grant amnesty
to collaborators, but suc-
cessive coalition govern-
ments never followed up on
this for fear this would
create a crisis between the
Flemish and French-
speaking Belgians.
King Albert's speech was
applauded by the head of the
Flemish regional govern-
ment, Luc van den Brande.
Belgian Prime Minister
Jean-Luc Dehaene has said
that, for his part, his
government cannot remain
insensitive to the king's
statement. Observers here
recall that the king's
speeches are always approv-
ed in advance by the
government.
French-speaking political
parties say they will refuse
any measure to pardon
collaborators, which, they
explained, would be con-
sidered a "provocation from
Flemish nationalist
movements."
Several politicians have
announced that they would
question the prime minister
on this issue this week in
Parliament.
The issue is abrasive. to
those who fought for
Belgium's freedom from the
Nazis. They say any amnes-
ty measure would be con-
sidered a "grave attempt" to
insult the memory and suf-
fering of those who struggled
for the country's freedom.
The Jewish community
here has not yet commented
on this issue.
Political observers here
recall that the debate over
the allegedly ambiguous at-
titude of former King
Leopold of Belgium, King
Albert's father, during
World War II, deeply divided
the Belgians in the early
1950s.
In fact, the political debate
led to King Leopold's resig-
nation in favor of his son,
Baudouin. 0
New Airplane
For Surveillance
Tel Aviv (JTA) — There's
new proof the skies are
becoming increasingly
friendly: Israel and Ukraine
have unveiled a jointly
designed airplane.
The new plane, called the
Antonov 72P, specializes in
marine surveillance. The
body of the aircraft was built
in Ukraine, and Israel Air-
craft Industries constructed
its advanced electronics
systems.
The price of the plane will
be between $15 million and
$20 million, which is about
one-third the price of similar
planes on the market, accor-
ding to Yishayahu Shapiro,
a general manager at LAI.
Plans call for the plane to
be marketed to countries
with extensive coastal
borders.
The plane, which rolled
out of the IAI hangars this
week, bore IAI and Ukrai-
nian air force markings side
by side below the cockpit.
