The Minister of the Interior, Bernard Quintin, and the Minister of Justice, Annelies Verlinden, insisted on Friday on the need to deploy “more blue in the streets” of Brussels....
Four shootings have occurred in Brussels in three days. Three days after the first shooting, the Minister of the Interior announced that more police officers would be deployed to the streets.
Prisons are full, shootings are plaguing Brussels and confidence in the justice system is far from being achieved. Minister Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) knows what to do in the coming years. “I have no illusions: justice is not the authority to make you popular quickly,” she says.
Federal Ministers of the Interior Bernard Quintin (MR) and Justice Annelies Verlinden (CD&V) want to provide more police in the Brussels streets in the short term. They said this on Friday morning before the start of a meeting with the partners involved, including National Drugs Commissioner Ine Van Wymersch and Julien Moinil, the public prosecutor of Brussels.
