An impressive police deployment, in the form of a punch operation, was carried out at the Gare du Midi last Saturday, on the initiative of the Minister of the Interior, Annelies Verlinden (CD&V).

A new large-scale police operation will take place this Thursday, learn our colleagues from La Libre. It also arouses some concern among workers in the social sector. “The police operation, taken at the initiative of the Federal government, is indeed scheduled for tomorrow. I am not associated with this operation”, confirms Jean Spinette (PS), mayor of Saint-Gilles. “The migrant aid groups are mobilizing because there is some concern. In particular, they want to avoid the confiscation of the belongings of the homeless people present on the site.

About sixty people were arrested during the previous operation, the overwhelming majority of whom were arrested for illegal residence in Belgium. “We must take a negative or positive decision but we cannot leave these people in a no mans land”, adds the mayor of Saint-Gilles.
