On Sunday, a meeting of local associations and groups will take place in the Brussels municipality of Sint-Gillis. This gathering has been organized in response to recent shootings in the area, which, according to the initiators, are linked to the growing influence of criminal organizations.
The gathering aims to send a strong signal against organized crime in the neighborhood. The organizers are calling on local residents to join the action and collectively address the violence that affects daily life in Sint-Gillis.
This action arises from community concerns about increased crime and the insecurity it brings. The recent incidents of violence have led to a widespread sense of unease among the residents of the neighborhood.
According to the Brussels citizen collectives also participating in the action, it is essential that both the federal and Brussels governments take immediate action. There are calls for increased measures and support to improve the situation.
Sunday's meeting is a first step toward greater involvement of residents in combating organized crime and restoring safety in the streets.
