The federal highway police and the local police will organize the 19th marathon of speed checks on Tuesday, from 6:00 a.m., across the entire Belgian territory, they announced in a press release on Monday.

By announcing the operation, which will last 24 hours, the police want to “encourage motorists to slow down and respect the authorized speed limits at all times and in all places”.

During the previous edition, the Federal Highway Police and no less than 130 police zones carried out checks at 556 locations. In total, more than 4% of those stopped had been speeding.

“Along with driving under the influence and the use of GSM while driving, excessive speed is one of the main causes of road accidents,” it is recalled in the press release.

Politician Thierry Baudet, leader of the far-right Eurosceptic and anti-immigration Dutch party Forum for Democracy (FVD) has suffered a new attack. This is in fact not a first for the latter who had already been attacked in Ghent at the end of October. A man hit him violently with an umbrella and the FVD then said it was considering “additional security measures”.

The party informed that it was on its way to the Groningen hospital following this new attack while assuring that “everything will be fine”, reports The newspapaer. For the moment, no information concerning the exact place and time of the attack has been communicated by the FVD. However, videos are circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showing Baudet beaten in a café, probably using a bottle or a glass. He was to attend a meeting in Zwolle this evening. It is not yet certain whether this meeting will take place.
