Is someone in the municipality already on the move to remove this horror from Place Miroir? », asks a local resident on one of the Facebook groups dedicated to the inhabitants of Jette. The tag he saw this Wednesday is shocking: “Arab = thief” was written on the front of a building under renovation.

It didn’t take long for this inscription to disappear. In fact, a few hours following its appearance, the tag was covered with black paint, making the Islamophobic comments illegible. The mayor of the commune, Claire Vandevivere (Les Engagés), told La DH that the municipal services were on hand to remove it but, in the meantime, the contractor had it removed. “We condemn, of course. We advocate living together in Jette. There’s no way we’re going to see that here,” she explains, shocked, to our colleagues.

On social networks, many Jettois were indignant at this tag: “It’s at a lamentable level”, “Shameful! », “Throws worse and worse!” “.
