2023-10-16 09:23:00

In an interview with RTBF, Rachid Ben Salah claims to have sent a letter to the Brussels government with the aim of requesting the dismissal of the mayor of Molenbeek. “The objective of my complaint? Bringing serenity back to the municipal political debate. It aims to safeguard our institutions and remind political staff that at a certain point, when the cup is full, there are articles of law which allow us to say ‘stop’. The approach and its possible outcome would be unprecedented. Nevertheless, the idea is to recall that respect for the rights of municipal staff, political staff or citizens must be preserved”.

Altercation at the aldermanic college of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Catherine Moureaux denies having injured Abdellah Achaoui: “It’s completely unbearable”

Before continuing. “Mayor Catherine Moureaux appears to be at the heart of several disturbing incidents, including an alleged physical altercation with the alderman Abdullah Achaouiwhich demonstrates a lack of restraint and professionalism in the exercise of his duties.

Catherine Moureaux is accused of having committed an act of brutality once morest alderman Abdallah Achaoui (PS), who has since been on sick leave. The mayor, however, completely denies having been involved in any violent altercation. The alderman might go to court if the Socialist Party does not resolve this matter internally following having referred the matter to his party’s vigilance commission, according to RTBF. Other incidents are also pointed out by the opposition.

The PS Molenbeekois corrupted by an internal war: “If Catherine Moureaux does not pull herself together, she will have a problem”

In his letter, Rachid Ben Salah relies on article 82 of the municipal law. “The Government may, for notorious misconduct or serious negligence, suspend or dismiss the mayor, who will be heard beforehand. The suspension cannot exceed three months.”

If Rachid Ben Salah wins his case before the municipal elections in October 2024, the PS will have to find a successor to Catherine Moureaux.
