A cyclist died Friday morning in Aalst following an accident with a truck, reports the East Flanders public prosecutor’s office. The victim was 81 years old.

The accident occurred around 11:00 a.m. According to the traffic expert’s initial findings, the cyclist had the right of way and was hit by an inattentive truck driver.

The driver of the truck, a 28-year-old man from Zottegem, tested negative for drugs and alcohol, but the public prosecutor’s office revoked his driving license for 15 days.

On December 27, 2015, the two defendants who appeared in court on June 30 met two runaway minors, aged 14 and 16, at Namur station. In the apartment of one of the two men, the 4 people consumed alcohol, cannabis and ecstasy. The two girls woke up the next day, suffering from pain in their genitals and noticing the presence of used condoms. During the evening, the defendants exchanged messages relating to sexual acts performed on the victims. One of them took photos of the pubis of one of the victims, asleep on a couch.

The only defendant present at the hearing, who is also the subject of an internment order following an arson for which he was found guilty, denied the facts. “I went to sleep alone and played on the console. The messages exchanged were for laughs, they did not mention the events that took place.”

The Namur public prosecutor’s office demanded for these charges of rape, indecent assault and facilitation of the use of narcotics, internment for one and 4 years in prison for the other, without opposing a possible probationary suspension. .

Me Preumont pleaded for the simple suspension of the sentence for his client, who is currently working abroad. Me Fery pleaded for acquittal with the benefit of the doubt for his client, currently interned since June 2022. “The complaint came one year following the facts, no gynecological expertise might be carried out. The victims are not formal in their interviews as to whether they were raped.”

This Friday, the court ruled that the charges of rape had not been established, unlike the others. The first defendant benefits from the suspension of the sentencing for a period of 3 years. In view of his mental disorder which persists today, internment is pronounced for the second.

Metro 3 in Brussels, tram in Liège, or even Mons station, RER… What do they have in common? Deadlines constantly pushed back. This week, we learned that the entry into circulation of the southern section of metro 3 is officially five years late. In Liège, the project launched in 2019 and scarring the Cité Ardente should have been completed in 2022. The tram will ultimately not run before 2025.

Metro 3 mired under the Palais du Midi: a construction site condemned to move forward and an additional cost to be assumed by the Brussels government

We know: all major projects run into unforeseen events, and delays are, unfortunately, almost inexorable. However, we are not talking regarding months here, but entire years lost. Too often the explanations given are vague and clearly insufficient. These constantly postponed deadlines fuel tensions and resentment among those who endure nuisances, detours and dust on a daily basis. There is a great risk of lastingly disgusting citizens with any new ambitious project. However, Brussels needs a metro network worthy of a metropolis, and Liège needs a structuring tram.

A deadline is not just a number. It is a horizon that allows you to project yourself and tolerate temporary discomfort. But we still have to believe in this date. Respecting timetables and keeping the word given must once once more become a priority. Because by flouting promises, public authorities are playing with their credibility.

The inauguration of Mons station postponed to 2024

“The vast Dongting reflects the magnificence and rich history of Yueyang, showing the elegance of the ancient city.” As a national historical and cultural city, Yueyang City has 193 scenic spots such as Yueyang Tower and Junshan Island, and 22 national key cultural relics protection units. The colorful cultural heritage of Yueyang has been in Yueyang’s more than 2,500 years of history. The spirit of joy and joy, the spirit of exploration, the spirit of camel, and the revolutionary spirit of the Pingjiang Uprising are inherited and carried forward in Baling. These distinctive “cultural IPs” make Yueyang an important cornerstone of the Hunan spirit. In particular, in recent years, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have vigorously promoted the in-depth integrated development of culture and tourism, and strived to create cultural and tourism brand activities such as the “Dongting Fishing and Fire Season”, which has effectively led to a leap-forward improvement in the city’s cultural tourism.

As the “source of the Dragon Boat Festival, the hometown of dragon boats, and the hometown of poetry”, Miluo City actively integrates into Yueyang’s “Dongting Fishing and Fire Season” activity brand and holds the Mid-Autumn Pagoda Playing activity with high quality and high standards. Practice is also a powerful measure to effectively promote the “night economy” in autumn. Miluo City will take this event as an opportunity to better empower the integrated development of culture and tourism, provide citizens and friends with a better cultural and tourism consumption experience, and continue to promote high-quality development of the local economy.
