Crevits to Van Quickenborne: “Do your job”

She called on the federal level to look into its own bosom.

Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD) stated last week that parents of young rioters should be held more accountable. During the question hour in the House, he proposed that child benefit be cut if necessary. Van Quickenborne made his statement during a debate about the riots that broke out after the match between Belgium and Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar.

“In short: do your job”

“I would like to make a suggestion about that balloon,” Crevits replied on Wednesday. “Make sure people are identified, followed up and convicted. In short: do your job.” According to De Reuse, it must be possible to cut back on the Growth Package. “Each level of government has to take responsibility, that’s the call made last week,” he said. “There is a system in Flanders to support parents in raising their children, which is kept running by the taxpayers. There must be a commitment from those parents.”
