"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, last month, we held a debate here in response to the tragic deaths in Antwerp of a two-year old girl and her Malian nanny who died at the hands of an 18-year old lunatic. Ten days ago, my city of Antwerp was once again startled by brutal and racist violence when in broad daylight and right in the city centre, six young immigrants stamped a 53-year old train driver to death on a public transport bus, because he dared to ask them to keep the noise down. This reminds me of those two French men, Jean-Claude Irvoas and Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec, who were lynched during last year’s riots in the French
for similar reasons.
These too are incidents of racism, of anti-white, anti-Flemish and anti-French racism. I therefore dare express the hope here that this House, concerned as it is about every form of xenophobia and intolerance, will once again organise a debate on a matter of topical and urgent importance, that matter being the explosive situation involving migrants in the districts of some major European cities. At least then, the most courageous gesture of my murdered fellow-countryman will not have been in vain."@en1
