(…) An initiative that inspires some Belgian politicians. For example, Pascal Smet (Vooruit), Brussels State Secretary for Urban Planning, wrote this message on his Twitter feed. “Very cool concept in London. It brings more comfort to the city and brings people closer together. A nice idea for Brussels”.
Brussels Mayor Philippe Close was asked by Pascal Smet to think about the idea, and he replied to Sudinfo. “We have the nativity scene at Christmas in the Grand’Place. There is the Festival of Lights in Schuman at Hannouka. So why not have something for Ramadan. There has to be a balance between the secularity of the state and popular religious festivals. But I am not averse to the idea”. www.lesoir.be
