Controversial Video of Child Brandishing Gun Circulating on Social Media Sparks Investigation

2023-10-17 08:54:00

The video, very challenging, is circulating on social networks. We can see, against the background of rap music, a child brandishing a gun, perched on the shoulders of another individual. The child is surrounded by a group of masked men carrying the Palestinian flag. The images are filmed at night, in front of a crèche located on rue de la Quarrel, in the Marolles district of Brussels.

The video was shared this Tuesday by Theo Francken (N-VA), federal deputy. “Last night in Brussels, a child armed with a revolver was glorified by gangsters displaying Palestinian flags. At the eco-crèche ‘Les Petits pas’ in rue de la Querelle. What hell,” tweeted the former Secretary of State for Migration.

An ongoing investigation to identify the perpetrators

If the location is exact, this is not the case with the dating of the facts, according to Philippe Close (PS), mayor of Brussels. Contacted by La Libre, he specified that the “video dates from this Saturday, and not this Monday evening.”

“This video has nothing to do with the attack committed this Monday in Brussels. On the other hand, it is clear that I condemn this type of video,” continues the mayor of Brussels. “An investigation is underway to identify the people visible in the video and who a priori concern the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
