This Wednesday, the guest of RTL info Signatures is the president of Engagés, Maxime Prévot. The mayor of Namur was questioned regarding the growing insecurity in the country’s large cities and for him, there is a lack of aid.

There is unfortunately no shortage of examples of the insecurity that reigns in Namur. A young man was stabbed during the Walloon holidays and we met a shopkeeper from the city who can’t take it anymore: “Originally I was thinking of opening a store, but ultimately I work in security“.

This is a situation that we find in all major cities since Antwerp became the gateway for cocaine to Europe.“, argues our guest who assures that he”mobilize law enforcement as much as possible“.

But this fight once morest crime must not be done alone, the municipalities need help, says Maxime Prévot. “On must be adequately assisted by the Federal government, in particular to benefit from funding in order to recruit new personnel for the field. Security is the first of the freedoms that we must guarantee to our fellow citizens and Namur ensures this.“.

We have not become Chicago either, we must compare what can be, but I am not putting my head in the sand and we will work to ensure that Namur remains a tourist and attractive city as it has always been“, he concludes.
