Brussels and Beggars

Juni 26, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

The city of Brussels introduced rules for beggars, forbidding people below the age of 26 to beg. This was suspended by the supervisory authority, namely the Brussels Minister in charge of Local Authorities Bernard Clerfayt. The city is now contesting this.

One knows that regulations of begging have very little impact and only fight the symptoms, the real causes.
