Newspaper
Title
Rommelpot
Description
The *Rommelpot* was a satirical weekly newspaper published by the LLC Ontspanningslectuur. The newspaper was under the editorial direction of Daniël Merlevede, who also founded the political party the Vlaamse Concentratie during this period. This Flemish-nationalist party and the *Rommelpot* were opposed to the Belgian government and repression. The *Rommelpot* argued for a relaxation of the Lejeune-Law, as the editorial board felt that when collaborators were punished, pro-Flemish people were targeted whether they were traitors to the country or not. After a year of publication, protests against the newspaper increased, sales were banned and a bomb even exploded at the premises of the *Rommelpot*. In 1948 a trial began against Merlevede and Leona Braeken, the female printer of the paper. The fine pronounced as punishment was never enforced thanks to the statute of limitations. After the trial, the *Rommelpot*’s influence dropped significantly, and publication ceased in 1949.
