Brussels Mayor Yvan Mayeur said at a joint press conference with Jambon that authorities were stretched by ongoing investigations following Tuesday’s attacks across Brussels that left more than 30 dead and hundreds injured.
“Let us allow the security services to do their work and that the march – which we, too, want to take part in – be delayed for several weeks,” the mayor told reporters.
Following the press briefing, the rally’s organizers announced the event’s cancellation in a statement.“The security of our citizens is an absolute priority,” the organizers said.
“Consequently, we completely join the authorities in their proposal to postpone to a later date. We thus ask citizens not to come this Sunday to Brussels,” the statement added.
The announcement comes as Belgium and other European countries ramp up security across the continent in the wake of Tuesday’s attacks.
