Tense scenes in front of Charleroi airport this Thursday morning. Taxi drivers make it difficult to enter parking lots in order to express their dissatisfaction.
They denounce the fact that they will now have to pay for parking simply to drop off passengers.
“The blockade was put in place very early around 4:30-5 a.m.“, indicates our journalist Marie Stas present on site. The police intervened to lift it, but the taxi drivers continued their roadblock further, at the exit of the R3 motorway. There are kilometers of lines, our report further reports. journalist.
The police continue to try to restore the situation by noting the blockers’ plates and gradually arresting them.
Since yesterday morning (Wednesday), parking P2 at the airport has become chargeable. You have to pay 10 euros for a passage, even for a few minutes. A huge additional cost for taxi drivers. With around fifty passages per day, this would amount to 15,000 euros per month, just to drop off travelers.
So they decided to protest this morning.
Access to the airport will be complicated all morning and this might still be the case tomorrow.
