MIVB: No Palestinian flags on Brussels buses or trams

The Brussels local transport company, the MIVB is clamping down on drivers displaying Palestinian flags and showing their support for the people of Gaza.

The company has sent staff an 'urgent reminder' that such behaviour conflicts with its code of contact.

In recent days more and more MIVB buses and trams had been flying Palestinian flags.

Françoise Ledune, the bus company's spokeswoman, says that the MIVB has distanced itself from such protests and has taken action: "Everybody has a right to an opinion, but this should not be expressed when you are wearing an MIVB uniform or are at the wheel of one of our vehicles. It's against our code of conduct and we've sent staff an urgent reminder".
