The group Action Rebellion Brussels began to occupy, on Thursday in the early evening, a crossroads located in the Bois de la Cambre in Ixelles, to protest against the reopening of the wood to car traffic after a period of closure during the confinement. The action, called ” Reclaim the Park “, which started around 17: 30.
“there are two reasons for our action, one concrete and the other more symbolic,” according to the group Action of Rebellion. “First of all, during the closure, the Bois de la Cambre was become a green and pleasant one, where families, walkers and cyclists could enjoy the fresh air in peace without being disturbed by car traffic, which is valuable because there is a clear lack of green spaces in Brussels. It is not necessary to forget that many of the residents of Brussels do not have a garden or terrace “.
