But this Monday, the tenants of the Beekkant towers wanted to express their anger. “What we feared is happening, the towers are in a state of neglect. The door has been broken for a month and a half, and as people know that the upper floors are empty, the door is open to squats. One of the elevators has been out of service for weeks. I tried to turn on my heating two months ago, it never started,” laments Malika, resident and member of the Habitants de Machtens collective. She also notes that upstairs windows are left open, leaving the interior of the building exposed to cold wind and rain.

Demonstration prevented
On Friday, the collective put up posters to warn that a demonstration would take place this Monday followingnoon, and that a visit to the apartments would be organized. A program not to the taste of Logement Molenbeekois, according to the tenants, since the public real estate company had two employees blocking access to the building. “We did not know that the residents were going to take action this Monday,” explains Redouane Asaadi, the president of the organization, (PS) to Bx1.

For her part, Malika is worried. She, who lives in the lower part of the building, does not yet know the date when she will have to leave the tower. “Which makes me say that this situation might last for years.”
The demonstration, made up of around sixty people according to the participants, then moved in front of the offices of Logement Molenbeekois.
