A decree of the mayor of Mons, Nicolas Martin, prohibits, from July 31, gatherings of more than five people within the perimeter of Mons station. The decree “will authorize the police services to carry out surveillance activities and systematic checks both of vehicles and their occupants as well as of people on the public road within the perimeter of the station district”, indicated Mons authorities in a press release.
A system was put in place in mid-July at the initiative of the mayor to combat the difficulties encountered in the district of rue Rogier and rue Léopold in Mons. This device followed other measures, in particular regular large-scale checks, given the growing insecurity in the district.
The municipal authorities had also set up a reinforced police presence following a settling of accounts in the station district on July 13. The goal was to “further increase the police pressure and dislodge the disturbers. »
According to the local authorities, the first results are “very noticeable: the problematic facts are in free fall. » 86 people and 19 vehicles were checked and around ten reports were drawn up.
The order issued by the mayor, prohibiting gatherings of more than five people in the station area, aims to accentuate the repressive system in place. It will come into effect for two months. It will then be evaluated and possibly extended.
