Filthy wake-up call in Forest this Monday morning. Several anti-Semitic graffiti were discovered. On the walls of the Saint-Gilles prison (straddling Forest and Saint-Gilles), several sentences calling for hatred or even the murder of Jewish people (if we follow one of the semantic divisions of the possible tag since it is written with mistakes) were written in red letters during the night.
On a forest playground, a few hundred meters away, a swastika was also found this Monday morning. This is the playground on Place Constantin Meunier in the Molière district. The municipality’s anti-tag teams were dispatched to the site to erase the traces of this anti-Semitic vandalism.
”Different communities live in Forest and I am uncompromising in the face of any act that attempts to undermine this cohabitationcomments Mayor Mariam El Hamidine (Ecolo) I fight all forms of incitement to hatred. In fact, not a minute passed between the moment I learned regarding it this morning and the moment I called the cleaning department to go and clean the tag in question.”
In Saint-Gilles, the alderman for cleanliness Yasmina Nekhoul (PS) confirms the facts (the tags were on the Saint-Gilloise part of the prison). “The service already deleted a tag “kill all Jews” this morning. Those pictured here are new tags which had to be made following our services had passed to erase the first one.. The alderman notes an increase in this type of messages which call for hatred. “It is obviously linked to the current context. We always try to act as quickly as possible but they are happening more and more often.”
