Mayor of Bruges files complaint after caravans illegally occupy football fields
Original source: SudOuest.fr

Between 100 and 130 caravans of travelers illegally occupied two football fields at the Daugère sports complex in Bruges since Sunday, June 7. Mayor Frédéric Giro, who tried to intervene, was pushed aside and his bike thrown onto the roadside; he is filing a complaint. The city has requested an eviction procedure, fearing damage to the recently renovated fields costing tens of thousands of euros. The group, linked to an evangelical mission, stated its intention to leave by June 14, citing the inadequacy of official stopping areas.
