Indymedia Belgium Situation

Published by Colin on 28th December 2004.

There’s a struggle for control of the Belgian indymedia branch taking place, and they’re fighting it out wiki-style. One side is accusing the other of being the handpuppet of the PTB/PVDA, an extreme-left political party that seems to be best known for attempting to recuperate any event/protest for its own purposes, while the other is namecalling back with right-wing and zionist accusations.

Right or wrong, my perception of indymedia Belgium was that control stood, indeed, in the hands of the PTB/PVDA. Does anyone actually believe there is such a thing as truly independent media anyway?
