Not finding sources regarding nepotism

I tried to find a source for this information, but I'm not finding anything to show that she obtained her positions due to nepotism (except at least in one case, things taken from Wikipedia):

Belgium

• Freya Van den Bossche, the daughter of former minister Luc Van den Bossche, a member of the Flemish socialists, was, at age 28, appointed the youngest minister in Belgian history.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.time.com/time/europe/gender/story.html | work=Time | title=Can women enter the final bastion -- the all-male boardroom | date=2003-09-22 | accessdate=2010-05-20}} {{Dead link|date=September 2011|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref>--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
• Jean-Jacques De Gucht, the son of former minister and current European Commissioner for Trade Policy Karel De Gucht, was placed at the top of the electoral list for the Flemish Liberals in the 2007 federal elections for the East Flanders region and subsequently appointed to the Senate at age 27.<ref>http://www.nieuws.be/nieuws/“Zonder_zijn_naam_had_Jean-Jacques_De_Gucht_nooit_op_de_lijst_gestaan”_29a8f63c.aspx {{dead link|date=June 2013}}</ref>
• Melchior Wathelet, Jr., the son of Melchior Wathelet, Sr. who was minister in several Belgian and Walloon governments and the mayor of Verviers, is currently the junior minister of budget, asylum and immigration, and family policy, and became, at age 26, the leader of the French-speaking Christian Democrat fraction in the Belgian parliament.<ref>[http://premier.fgov.be/minister/melchior-wathelet ]{{dead link|date=March 2011}}</ref> There are a few articles that hint that Wathelet may have gained his positions through nepotism or political favoritism, but I'm not finding anything that says that it's an outright case of nepotism, but perhaps I missed something.

Does anyone have sources that tie the individuals to nepotism?--CaroleHenson (talk) 02:57, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Here's an article that ties Jean-Jacques De Gucht, Freya Van Den Bossche, Melchior Wathelet and a lot more individuals to nepotism in Belgian politics: http://www.tertio.be/sitepages/index.php?page=archief&id=672 Biot (talk) 11:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

"which is based on Latin root nepos meaning nephew.[3]" nepos means grandson too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.249.110 (talk) 04:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
