Belgium (Brussels Morning Newspaper) The member of the European parliament Tomáš Zdechovský (EPP) urged in a letter addressed to the Czech Minister of Interior, Mr. Vít Rakoušan, the Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson, and the Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders to join efforts to stop funding groups that support radical Islamism and terrorism from the European Union budget.
The letter, co-signed by twenty MEPs from various factions, reacts to a speech made by Interior Minister Rakušan at the beginning of September in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).
