This Tuesday, the commune of Seraing was featured in the program “Dans ma commune”, which focuses on different towns in our country a few days before the municipal elections.
Yesterday, in Bel RTL Matin, Alice Bernard, Walloon MP for the PTB, denounced: according to her, the PS, the majority in Seraing since the Second World War, “waste public money“Where does this accusation come from?”We have seen waste of public money, major real estate projects which have sucked up a lot of money, 42 million in the Cristal Park project, 20 million which have disappeared into nature, which are not invested to meet the needs of the population“, she explains.
Called to react to these accusations, the mayor of Seraing was on the set of the show “Dans ma commune”. “I wonder this myself, but no one has filed a complaint about these projects. The City has filed a complaint to ensure transparency but if the PTB has documents, it should give them to the courts to help shed light on this matter.“, cries the socialist bourgmestre Déborah Geradon.
“40 million were invested by promising 1,000 jobs at Cristal Park. Result: 0 jobs but 20 million disappeared“, continues Damien Robert, head of the PTB list. In opposition, the MR also considers that the file is important: “When the city launched the project, I sounded the alarm to say that the project seemed totally pharaonic to me“, notes Fabian Culot, head of the “Ensemble” list, a list which brings together the MR, the Engagés and Défi. “For 12 years, this management has raised questions in substance and form. It’s intriguing“.
Same story at Ecolo: “The project is not ecological and must be completely revised. We must consult the population to know what to do in the future“.
Where are these 20 million?
The question remains: where are these 20 million of public money that has disappeared into thin air. “We have located them, they are on accounts in Switzerland“, notes the head of the PTB list. “I have not been able to identify the owner of these accounts“.
Attacked by the PTB, the head of the “Ensemble” list then reacted: “The Sherlock Holmes from the banks of the Meuse must give his documents to justice. I ask for clarity and justice. This will not be the case if the PTB continues to use the press channel rather than the legal channel“.
An investigation is still underway at this time.
