Cn Wednesday morning, the Social Affairs Committee of the Chamber will look into the dysfunctions noted by the VRT within the CPAS of Anderlecht by attempting to broaden the subject well beyond the problems of lack of control and clientelism put highlighted by the report. And this while the Labor Office has opened an investigation into benefit fraud. The deputies will notably hear from the Federal Minister of Social Integration Karine Lalieux (PS), the journalists who wrote the report, but also the representatives of the CPAS federations from the three regions of the country. For their part, the president (Lofti Mostefa) and the former president (Mustapha Akoz) of the Anderlecht CPAS did not, according to Sud Info, respond to the parliamentarians’ invitation. We tried to contact them last night to find out if they would be coming to the House this Wednesday. In vain.

This crisis is also an opportunity to look at an institution under tension, facing increasingly structural difficulties.
