Governor opposes plan to direct Limburg federal police from Antwerp

Governor Jos Lantmeeters is rallying Limburg parliament members against a proposal to centralize the federal police, fearing it would place Limburg's police under Antwerp's control. He has called a meeting to discuss the government's plans, expressing concerns that this centralization could dismantle the effective structure currently in place in Limburg. Lantmeeters emphasizes the importance of local knowledge and collaboration, arguing that transferring leadership to Antwerp would hinder operations. He notes that other governors share his reservations about the proposal, and aims to create a united front for Limburg against these changes.
