The Belgian secretary of state for Asylum, Flemish nationalist Theo Francken, has this Tuesday accused Spain of having "political prisoners".
Jan Jambon portretado como un neofascista, yo como un neonazi. Que raro, estaba pensando que esos prisioneros politicos estaban en una celda española.. o están en una celda española. pic.twitter.com/lHx8Er9xgv

"[Belgian Interior minister] Jan Jambon portrayed as a neo-fascist, myself as a neo-Nazi. How strange, I was thinking that those political prisoners were in a Spanish cell... or are in a Spanish cell", he wrote in Spanish on his personal Twitter account, under a photo of the front page of Spanish newspaper ABC.
The Belgian minister with responsibility for asylum and migration posted a series of variations on the same theme, in English, French and Flemish. They were in reaction to a report in ABC whose headline accuses him of "protecting defenders of the Jewish genocide". The sub-heading says he has "neo-Nazi friends and takes part in events in homage to admirers of Hitler".

"Jan Jambon the neo-fascist, me the neo-Nazi. And me who thought that these political prisoners were, or rather are, in a Spanish prison..." read the French tweet.
