About fifty citizens delivered Fedasil furniture on Saturday to the building occupied by asylum seekers near the Gare du Nord in Brussels, Belga noted. A symbolic march to deliver the three armchairs was organized by the citizens, members of various support committees for asylum seekers, starting from rue de Louvain.
The furniture in question was seized from Fedasil and from the office of the Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Nicole De Moor before being sold at auction. The furniture was seized because the Belgian State did not pay the penalty payments imposed following more than 7000 convictions for non-respect of its duties towards asylum seekers.
The citizens bought the furniture to bring it inside the building and create the “hall of shame“. “What asylum seekers want is to be housed by Fedasil. The State should be ashamed of its management of reception“said Stéphanie, co-organizer of the action.
