Refugee children in Koksijde go to school

-

Today, refugee children went to school - the first time since the police stopped blocking the Fedasil Center in Koksijde.

This was made possible thanks to the protests of refugees and Belgians who supported them.

Respecting children's right to education was one of the demands of protesters.

For our and your freedom: what you need to know about the refugee protest in Koksijde

A lot of lies are spreading about the protests of refugees in Koksijde . Read these 10 points to understand what is happening. 1. Refugees complied with and are complying with all requirements related to coronavirus . On May 4, a lockdown, which lasted several weeks, ended at the Koksijde Refugee Reception Center. Refugees did not protest at this time, because there was a reasonable explanation for the lockdown and all of Belgium was at home. 2. The protest began after the mayor Marc Vanden Busche announced a new lockdown and sent the police on June 3 - for no reasonable reason. This time, coronavirus was frankly used as an excuse for discrimination and racism.

Today I saw tears in the eyes of many people. The Belgians in Koksijde came to support the protest of refugees . Many Belgians say and write to me that they are ashamed of their country, ashamed of Belgium, where such things happen. To say that we are grateful is to say nothing. Thank you so much, only thanks to your support can we talk about our problems. And you have nothing to be ashamed of. You can be proud of your country, you can be proud of Belgium. This is not an exaggeration; I am simply comparing it with my country. Where I came from, they wanted to cut off my head for my publications.

I read Robert H. van Rootselaar's Facebook post ( https://www.facebook.com/rhvanr/posts/724786318310718 ) that people who buy electric bicycles bring him their "old" bicycles, which Robert cleans, checks and gives to those who need them - for free. I wrote to Robert and he replied - come to us in Bredene, where you can take two bicycles. Thus, we and another family in Fedasil center received excellent bicycles. Really excellent, in very good condition. Many thanks! And over a cup of coffee, we talked with Robert about life, got some advices and contacts that might help us in the future. It was a pleasant conversation with an interesting person. On Thursday we leave for another center, a bus will come for us, so I think we can take bicycles with us.
