Actions in fifty Belgian municipalities against new law on home entry
Published
On Wednesday evening, actions took place in fifty cities and municipalities across Belgium against the law on home entry. Participants protested against the approval of this law, which makes it possible to enter homes. In some places, the activists carried the slogan "No ICE in Belgium".
According to critics from civil society, the law raises questions about the protection of privacy. They believe the rules must be clear, so that no one is checked in their home without good reason. The actions were peaceful and were organised by various groups and associations.
The law has now been approved, but the discussion continues. It is not yet clear how the new rules will be applied in practice. Nor has every party involved yet responded.
For residents of Belgium, this law is important, because it can have direct consequences for their homes and their personal lives. In the coming weeks, it will become clear whether the protests lead to a change in the law or in the way it is implemented.
