Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- The municipality of Anderlecht had to cancel planned income for 18 million euros this year at the request of the regional guardians. This concerns debts incurred before 2016, such as unpaid parking fines or municipal taxes. The local N-VA requests an external audit, but according to the region this is not necessary. “The situation is not exceptional.”
This is apparent from a letter from Minister of Local Authorities Bernard Clerfayt (Défi) to the Anderlecht municipal council in January this year, which N-VA councillor Gilles Verstraeten received.
