Crisis closure highway car parks flares up again

Six months after the federal government announced measures to deal with the problems of transmigrants at car parks along motorways, two mayors are threatening to close a truck park in their municipality. According to Gazet van Antwerpen, Frank Gys (N-VA), mayor of Wommelgem, and his colleague from Mol, Wim Caeyers (CD&V), want to do just that. They accuse the government of not deploying extra troops and not taking coordinated action. “I am considering closing the Q8 car park in Wommelgem,” said Gys. It is not clear whether the car park will be closed only at night or also during the day.
