I don't mix up AGA and Vrije Bond, but AGA is a member group of Vrije Bond and I will definitely hold Vrije Bond responsible. Indeed, by expelling Sjerp for the reasons given, Vrije Bond has demonstrated that it is easily capable and willing of enforcing any standards it wants regarding its members. Over the past 2 years it has chosen not to do this with the member groups (not just AGA but also ACA and others) who have been engaged in shilling for people in fascist groups and fraudulently raising money for such activities. To the contrary, it has systematically promoted these activities under the name of Vrije Bond (for example https://www.facebook.com/vrijebond/posts/pfbid0hKmxfe1EQgGgqwXHthjjF46BJ...) even though it has been fully aware of these issues. So yes, Vrije Bond is fully responsible for this, and that excuse of "but it's our member groups and not us" doesn't fly.
I am furthermore not "connected" to Sjerp, I hadn't even heard of that situation until his text was published here. But many of the points he raised regarding sabotage and especially the modus operandi used for such are quite recognizable from my own experience. In fact, I had always assumed that this was just some individual members here in Belgium and never really considered this to be a general Vrije Bond problem until I read Sjerp's text and instantly recognized some things. Though I suppose it's no surprise that after many years of fascist-shilling and fraud, a bit of union-busting would find its way in there too. I mean, you don't really expect me to just ignore that unions like the Radical Riders got wrecked after you lot came around merely because you like to plop the words "crazy zionist" in front of the organizer's name?
