The travelers who installed around seventy caravans in the rear parking lot of the Kinepolis Braine-l’Alleud cinema complex on April 28 are still present. They therefore did not comply with the order issued by the president of the court of first instance of Walloon Brabant, referred to by Kinepolis and which had required their departure under penalty of penalty. However, promises were made for a departure during the day on Sunday.
The occupation of the cinema complex parking lot occurred without prior agreement from management and from the start, management made it clear that it did not accept the situation. Enforcing the decision taken by the courts with the help of the police, if necessary by using force, is one of the options that was mentioned in the file. But it would require a very significant deployment of resources.
Although the parking lot for public use is private land belonging to Kinepolis, the mayor of Braine-l’Alleud, Vincent Scourneau (MR), confirms having met this week with Travelers on site, to try to avoid confrontation . “We had a frank discussion and they promised to leave this Sunday. I believe they are people of their word, I hope this promise will be respected“, confirms the Brain mayor.
