The four police unions, VSOA, NSPV, ACV and ACOD, have asked their members to act in a “non-repressive manner” towards traffic and parking violations in Belgium from Thursday, according to daily newspapers Het Laatste Nieuws and Sudinfo.
Police officers joining the “month without sanction” will not issue any parking or traffic fines from 15 December to 15 January. They will also reduce the number of breathalyser tests for suspected drunk drivers, while officers at airports may also strike as part of the protests. “If necessary, we will continue until 2024,” warned the unions in a statement.
