What Led to the Temporary Halt of the Eviction in Antwerp?

- The ruling prevents immediate eviction until May 6, allowing for an appeal.
- The family may have been wrongfully targeted for eviction.
- The case underscores broader issues of housing insecurity in urban areas.
This ruling presents a temporary relief but raises questions about long-term housing policies in Belgium. As this case progresses, it will be essential for residents to stay informed and advocate for their rights within the community.
