Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden said Friday the attacks in the French-speaking Wallonia region must stop after another school was set on fire on Thursday night. – A series of school arsons in Belgium believed to be connected to a controversial school program in some parts of the country is prompting authorities to strengthen their police response.
“We don’t touch our schools,” the minister wrote on the X social network, formerly known as Twitter. “Arson attacks in Brussels and Wallonia must stop. I have therefore asked the federal police to provide support to local areas to avoid any escalation.”The Evras program is described as a tool designed to help children and teenagers develop their relational and sexual lives.
In addition to the arsons, protests gathering a few hundred people have also been organized in Brussels. Several Islamic groups have also condemned the program in a joint statement over fears it will favor the “hypersexualization" of children while rumors about the nature of Evras spread on the Internet.
