Travelers spent their first night in Leuze-en-Hainaut: “Their way of setting up is professional,” said the bourgmestre

Hervé Cornillie, the bourgmestre, regretted this passage in force. Nevertheless, “”Without reinforcements from the federal police which is equipped with large intervention devices, nothing can be done. Moreover, As a bourgmestre, I went before them by indicating my function of bourgmestre. But they don’t care, it is the law of the number. We were able to realize in the hours that followed their installation that these are real professionals. They quickly committed their travelers spent their first night first offense by connecting to an electric cabin from Ores. And they will of course need a lot of water. If the swde does not grant them a connection to the water network. they will do it illegally because they are equipped with a swan neck (Editor’s note: A technical device that allows you to connect to a fire mouth)“.

The first night went without incident. But the bourgmestre does not intend to stop there. “I will stay in touch with these people. But I am firm and very travelers spent their first night clear with them: there is no question of an occupation over time. Residents of Leuze and entrepreneurs are worried because of the prejudices circulating on the community of traveling people. As a bourgmestre, I cannot let as many people stay on Leuzois in a completely illegal way”.

The management of Ideta will file a complaint on Monday for occupation of its land. Officials from the city of Leuze will be mobilized for a more administrative approach. “I will prepare an expulsion order. But it will not be lightly. We will absolutely need human. technical resources of the federal police which is the only equipped for this type of intervention.”
