Brussels : After several months of suspending financial allocations to the Executive Council of Muslims in Belgium, the Belgian authorities have decided to resume pumping money, but under regulatory conditions. The government decision published in the Official Gazette on Friday, on the eve of the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, to enable the Council, which is the representative body of Belgian Muslims, to receive 150,000 euros from the federal government’s budget.
The number of Muslim community in Belgium is almost 400,000, of them mostly Turkish and Moroccan. However the Islamic bodies have so far been unable to reach an elaborate virtual representation of their interests. In recent years, there were several interventions by the authorities in the affairs of the organization of the Islamic Council on the pretext of security reasons.
