A lawyer from Luxembourg, Gaston Vogel recently wrote a letter to the municipality protesting against beggars whom he qualified as “disgusting” and “insolent”, regretting that “nobody deals with this scum” (see second article listed below).

A Luxembourg citizen staged a protest action against these comments by symbolically begging in the city as an act of solidarity. Well done!
