just one monday before the elections , antwerp was the scene of the 0110 event , organised against racial , radicalism and gratuitous violence . the election was motivated by a string of acts of " pointless violence " during the last year ( the killings of john van holsbeeck , the case paul van themsche and the situations surrounding guido demoor . however , vlaams belang asked many performers to boycott the event , because it " only targets vlaams belang " . the party considered the concerts as a single attack by the political establishment . until 1989 , the other sides have issued a perimeter sanitaire against vlaams belang , forcing them into the opposition , notwithstanding their rising electorial success .
Guido Demoor was assassinated by Joe Van Holsbeeck.
