Asked on La Première regarding theattack carried out by Abdesalem Lassoued Bernard Clerfayt (DéFI), impeded mayor of Schaerbeek and Brussels Minister of Local Authorities calls for the resignation of Secretary of State for Asylum Nicole de Moor (CD&V) “because it once once more proves its incompetence and has not put in place procedures to resolve the problems. There are thousands and thousands of orders to leave the territory which are not not executed and in addition the procedure does not provide for searching the addresses of all these people. This gentleman made an asylum request which was refused in 2020. He was then removed from the lists by the Immigration Office. From there, no one at the Fed cares to know where he is. Moreover, at the judicial level, there is information according to which he is potentially dangerous and we do not make the link between the two. In any case, we must certainly execute orders to leave the territory for potentially dangerous, radicalized or delinquent people.”
“This gentleman presents himself to the Foreigners’ Office (EO) in 2019, he is given an address where he can be contacted, it might be that of a lawyer or an association. This address is in Schaerbeek but the municipality is not aware: this name is on a waiting list, among thousands of others. No one asks the municipality to check their home. When, almost a year later, the Foreigners’ Office receives the refusal to be recognized as an asylum seeker pronounced by the General Commission for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRA), the Foreigners’ Office removes him from the list. Nothing else happens, the municipality is never informed. We send the person concerned an order to leave the territory by mail, but no one bothers to follow the reality of this gentleman. There is no formal and concrete follow-up by the Office of Foreigners of people registered or removed from the lists. This is not transmitted to the municipality. This is why thousands of people hang around the stationsin the street or elsewhere.
“Mardi the Prime Minister repeated what I just said : he said that it was necessary to be stricter in the execution of orders to leave the territory”. If there are countries to which it is not possible to carry out forced returns, “so we need to find a temporary status to register these people and know where they are and, if they commit a crime, be able to look for them. Currently they are in the wild.”
