The mayor of Ninove, Guy D’haeseleer, prohibits the socialist union ABVV from distributing flyers at the Tuesday market next week. The announcement was made on Facebook on September 30, 2025. D’haeseleer stated that ABVV does not accept members and emphasized that “there is no place for discrimination at the market.”
Prohibition Details
According to D’haeseleer, the decision to ban ABVV from flyering is rooted in the organization’s policies. He highlighted that allowing such actions could be seen as discriminatory. The mayor’s move targets ensuring equal representation and participation at public events.
ABVV itself has not yet been officially informed about the prohibition. Despite this, the union has expressed its intention to continue with the planned action regardless of the mayor’s statement.
Next Steps for ABVV
As of now, ABVV is preparing to respond to the mayor’s announcement. They have not indicated plans to cancel their flyering event for the upcoming Tuesday market, despite being prohibited.
