A community issue is hidden behind the Gare du Midi file, warned for a few days the Brussels Minister-President, Rudi Vervoort, who pointed the finger at a lack of attention for the capital on the part of the federal government.
The socialist pointed the finger at the lack of designation of a new public prosecutor in Brussels, the lack of judicial and police personnel, or even the abolition in the early 2000s of the police station installed in the station. In his eyes, the promises made following the murder of police officer Thomas Montjoie in Schaerbeek have not been kept.
“You just have to see who has been exercising the sovereign functions in this country for several legislatures. It’s unfortunate to say but there is also a community issue behind it. The federal judicial police of this country have been siphoned off by certain police areas”, remarked on the set of RTL-TVi Mr. Vervoort, citing Antwerp, where significant resources have been deployed to fight once morest drug trafficking, and Brussels-National Airport.
According to him, behind these problems lies “the challenge of moving towards a form of regionalization of the police and justice”. “In Flanders, it’s their dream, they have a Minister of Justice and the Interior. Tomorrow, you entrust the management of all these areas bringing together thousands of police officers in a territory with major issues to a single person, what power are we going to give him? You will have someone who, facing the Minister of the Interior, will also claim authority over the federal police, “he said on Friday in The last hour.
