Mons: A control of the AFSCA turns to the confrontation, two controllers attacked

Hainaut

The activities of Ange Mélis were checked Monday night but things went wrong.

For several years already, Mirella Mélis, aka Ange Mélis or Mimi Solidarité, organizes food distributions for the most disadvantaged . This Monday evening, she was again in the streets of Montois to help them. For the occasion, several dishes were cooked, desserts and a fruit salad prepared by the team.

Unfortunately, this picnic activity did not go as planned. After a control of the FASFC, especially in terms of the temperature of the dishes, a fruit salad was thrown away. "I'm listening to their advice but I find some aberrant measures. When you go somewhere, that you have a picnic, you dive your thermometer in each preparation? "Asks Angel Melis.

The latter also evokes a muscular control. "Things have degenerated. A volunteer approached with a camera in her hand, which did not please one of the inspectors of the FASFC. The volunteer reacted and the police intervened. She was handcuffed and fell unconscious. She suffers from several bruises. It was violent control, in front of several people, including a six-year-old girl, who was particularly shocked by the scene. A statement was written against Ange Mélis.

On the side of the FASFC, the version of the facts can not be more different and challenging. "Initially, the control went pretty well, although some rules had to be recalled and some products thrown away. Things went wrong when a lady arrived, camera in hand. She badaulted two of our controllers. One of them was hit in the face, bitten and threatened, "said Jean-Sebastien Wahlin, spokesman for the agency.

"This lady then went into hysteria and hit her head on the ground several times … We never had such a situation. Complaint was obviously filed. "This control, carried out in collaboration with the police and the ONEM, follows a complaint from a person who was sick after receiving a distribution.

And the spokesperson adds, stunned: "We have photos that prove that volunteers get supplies directly into containers, left in the sun at this time, or recover the remains of a restaurant that our services know well since it has been closed several times … It's totally criminal to practice in this way and hope that the complaints will succeed. It is now up to the courts to seize the case.
