The secretary of State for brussels Pascal Smet (neb.brussels) will perform a fluoroscopy, external, independent of the Siamu, the fire Service and emergency medical assistance of the Region of Brussels-Capital, on the theme of diversity, he says on Friday in The Last Hour and Morgen. These last few months, several incidents of a racist nature have taken place and investigations are underway.

The policy officer noted that ” the historic culture of the Siamu or the police is not always open to diversity. The body composition of firefighters does not reflect the diversity of brussels. There are very few women (11 out of 1.109 for the operational framework), there is little in Brussels and there is very little fire from immigration. This needs to change, ” he says. It therefore intends to accelerate the diversity.
