Deadly attack in Belgium ignites fierce debate on failures of deportation policy_我的网站

A |     不想旅行变“修行”？和父母沟通的这些雷区不要踩     出发前：差点吵起来     上个月，我趁着休假带爸妈去了一趟周边的小城，三天两夜。    BRUSSELS -- The alleged attacker who killed two Swedish soccer fans in Brussels this week before he was shot dead by police was residing in Belgium illegally and should have left the country three years ago, but never did.In a country that has been repeatedly rocked by extremist attacks, the government’s inability to deport the 45-year-old Tunisian national and prevent him from carrying out the attack is sparking a fierce political debate.Many questions remained unanswered as Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson traveled to Brussels on Wednesday to attend a ceremony paying tribute to the victims and meet his Belgian counterpart Alexander De Croo. How was a man who was on police files, thought to be radicalized and being sought for deportation, able to remain on Belgian soil? How did he obtain a semiautomatic rifle and launch such an attack?Investigators are still trying to determine the motive for Monday night’s attack, which happened not far from where Belgium’s men’s soccer team was hosting Sweden in a European Championships qualifier. It was the latest of a long list of extremist attacks to hit Belgium, including suicide bombings in 2016 that killed 32 people and injured hundreds more in the Brussels subway and airport.Authorities believe the suspect acted alone.Sweden raised its terror alert to the second-highest level in August after a series of public Quran burnings by an Iraqi refugee living in Sweden resulted in threats from Islamic militant groups. Asked if this might be a possible motive in this week's attack, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office said it was too early to tell.Put on the backfoot by political rivals quick to condemn the inadequacies of Belgium’s deportation policy, De Croo stressed that orders to quit the Belgian territory need to be better enforced.“An order to leave the territory must become more binding than it is now,” he said. “The people who are not entitled to protection should leave the territory.” “When two people die, the only thing you can say is that things have gone wrong,” De Croo added.He also called for better protection of the European Union's external borders and coordinated return policies across the 27-nation bloc.Kristersson said he did not blame Belgian authorities for their failure to send the suspect back to his country of origin because “we have exactly the same problem in Sweden, with very many people who are declined asylum but refuse to leave.”According to Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne, the suspect was denied asylum in 2020. He had been suspected of involvement in human trafficking, living illegally in Belgium and of being a risk to state security.Nicole de Moor, the secretary of state for asylum and migration, said Belgian authorities had lost track of the suspect after his asylum application was refused because he did not want to be housed in a reception center. Authorities were unable to locate him to organize his deportation.Governments critics, however, pointed out that police were able to quickly find his address and carry out raids at his Brussels flat after the attack. Belgium’s federal prosecutor Frédéric Van Leeuw said the shooter was recognized by the video and that people helped to identify the suspect and to track him down.Bernard Clerfayt, a Brussels minister who is also the mayor of the Brussels borough where the killings took place, called for the resignation of de Moor, the migration secretary.“There are thousands and thousands of orders to leave the country that have not been carried out, and what’s more, the procedure makes no provision for tracking down the addresses of all these people,” Clerfayt told La Premiere radio on Wednesday.Van Leeuw, the prosecutor, said Belgian authorities didn’t have much indication about the suspect’s radicalization. They received some intelligence from an unidentified foreign government in 2016 that the man had been radicalized but could not act on it because Belgian authorities were not able to establish it, he said. They saw no signs of radicalization since then. “Radicalization is not a crime either,” he said.Jesper Tengroth, a spokesman for the Swedish Migration Agency, told Swedish public radio that the suspected gunman lived in Sweden from 2012 to 2014 and spent part of that time in prison before being sent to another EU country.Official figures showed that only 5,497 of the 25,292 people who received an order to leave Belgium in 2022 have respected it. According to various estimates, some 150,000 people are currently residing illegally in Belgium. On average in the European Union, only around one in three people whose asylum applications fail ever actually leave. Forced deportations have a dark history in Belgium. In 1998, Samira Adamu, a Nigerian asylum seeker whose application had been rejected, was suffocated to death by security officials on her plane back to Africa after she tried to resist her deportation. The interior minister at the time resigned over the scandal.Theo Francken, a lawmaker from the right-wing Flemish nationalist party N-VA, said Belgian authorities should be stricter with criminals and radicalized individuals. “This must really be the government’s focus. It’s a big mistake not to have done this,” he said.Meanwhile, Swedish public broadcaster SVT identified one of the victims as Patrick Lundström, a 60-year-old who was described by his family as an “incurable football fan” who followed the national team through good times and bad times.The fact that the shooter used a semiautomatic rifle highlighted another serious issue for Belgium — the widespread circulation of weapons in a country that struggles to fight fierce drug trafficking.“Because of drug crime, there is a lot of demand for these kinds of weapons,” Nils Duquet, the director of the Flemish Peace Institute and a weapons expert, told VRT News. "It’s not only serious criminals who get hold of these kinds of weapons these days, but also more minor ones.”___Raf Casert in Brussels contributed.。本来想让他们放松，结果出发前一天，我就踩了雷。    我问老妈：“你想去哪儿？”她说：“随便。”我又问：“那我来安排？”她笑着答：“你们这样乱花钱不行的。”     我知道她是怕我花钱，但当时差点接一句“那到底去不去”。后来学乖了，直接告诉她酒店已经订好，不能退。

B |     带父母出门，怕的就是让他们做选择题。他们不是没想法，是怕给你添麻烦。    头一天：慢一点，再慢一点     头一天到了景区，我习惯性地想多走几个点。

C | 老爸腿脚不好，走了一会儿就找地方坐着。当地接待的朋友从包里掏出折叠凳给他坐，我才意识到自己安排得太密了。    中午吃饭，老妈随口说了一句“这虾酱真香”。没想到下午就有人塞了两罐真空包装的过来，说是当地特产，让带回去吃。老妈一边收一边说：“这多不好意思。”对方说：“阿姨喜欢，带回去吃。

D | ”     晚上回车上，我发现座位旁边放着保温壶，每天灌满热水。这种小细节，我没想到，但有人替我想到了。

E |     第二天：他们有自己的节奏     第二天在景区，有个池塘，里面很多锦鲤。老妈蹲在旁边喂鱼，喂了整整半小时。    我催她：“前面还有塔呢。”她说：“不急，慢慢来。”我忽然觉得自己像个导游，老想着打卡。其实出来玩，又不是赶集。    后来上了塔顶，老爸掏出手机，拍了十几张照片。

F | 不是拍风景，是拍塔上的瓦片和屋檐。他说：“这里像小时候的村子。”我从来没听他讲过小时候的事。    第三天：别总问“累不累”     第三天上午，我习惯性问：“你们累不累？”老爸说：“累啥，比在家走得多。”老妈接了句：“这一趟不错，下次还出来。

G | ”我听了挺高兴。

H |     结果我又犯了错——我说：“那我回去做个攻略。”老妈摆摆手：“不用你做，我们自己也能走。”     我这才明白，他们不是需要我安排一切，只是需要有人陪，但不需要被当成小孩管。

I |     回来以后     回家后，老爸把塔顶的照片翻来覆去看，还给亲戚挨个看。

J | 老妈把那两罐虾酱放在冰箱里，说等过节再开。我偷偷把行程里那些“必去”的景点删了，想着下次再带他们出去，就找一个地方住下，每天散散步，喂喂鱼，聊聊天。    不想旅行变“修行”，其实很简单：少一点“我为了你好”，多一点“你说了算”。    我给自己列了几条，留着下次出门前看：     别问“你想去哪儿”，直接给两个选项。    别催，他们有自己的节奏。    别把行程排满，留一个下午发呆。    别问“累不累”，问“这地方好看吗”。

K |     不知道下次能不能做到，先写上再说。              返回，查看更多。
