The targeted border controls work, the police say. In recent weeks she has seen a striking number of attempts to cross the channel through the warm weather. “About a thousand people depart from the French coast a day and a part exactly at the border with De Panne. What we now determine is that we are at the boiling point. That people have to deal with shootings, so situations that we should absolutely avoid in Belgium.”
The police also want to prevent camps from being created on our west coast in the dunes, such as just across the border, on which the French media report. In the municipality of Loon-Plage, 2,000 refugees are combined in mademy circumstances.
