Brussels will see its nightlife spaces re-open on February 18, despite COVID restrictions still being in place throughout Belgium.
The move is part of a protest against the Consultation Committee’s lack of action over the reopening of the nightlife sector â which has been shuttered since Autumn 2021.
âWe cooperated: first for two weeks, then for a few months and finally we closed for two years, but enough is enough,â Lorenzo Serra of the Brussels By Night Federation, which represents nightclubs in the city told Bruzz.
Serra added that the nightlife sector has been âwithout perspective and with insufficient financial support since the brief reopening in the fall of 2021.â
âThe government-imposed barometer appears to be nothing more than an outdated tool to permanently impose a closure,â said Serra who also explained that âentrepreneurs in our industry canât take any more. Many are about to sell everything,â.
There will be a Consultation Committee meeting taking place on February 11 which will see them discuss a date to reopen clubs which sees the nightclub organisers of Brussels willing to postpone by a few days.
