Flemish minister's aide fabricated queer Muslim op-ed, posing as fake author

A collaborator of Flemish Budget Minister Ben Weyts (N-VA) submitted a fake opinion piece to multiple outlets, posing as a gay Muslim man named 'Mohammed El Idrissi'. The hoax was exposed by Knack magazine. This is a political scandal in Belgium involving deception and potential manipulation of public discourse, with implications for the minister's office and political trust.
