Beersel Who Friday morning wanted to sleep in Dworp was there for the effort. A motorcade of about a hundred taxi drivers drove for 6 hours of loud noise into the village to minister Ben Weyts to wake up. That they at the same time the Dworpenaren from their night’s sleep brought, they found themselves not so much. “We will block the highways”, says Pierre Steenberghen.
A long procession of taxi drivers drove Friday morning via the chaussée d’alsemberg the village. Through the narrow streets, went in the direction of the house of the Flemish minister for Mobility Ben Weyts (N-VA). The angry taxi drivers made their displeasure clear about the taxidecreet on the table. There are some restrictions lifted, but the taxi drivers fear that companies like Über so free game. “If the taxidecreet there, this will be the result”, says driver Michel Vandervoort. “Then drive there soon in any village of a hundred taxis around. It is a social massacre, because there are barely rules imposed on them.”
