| 摘要： | With ports being the gateway to the world, they sometimes open traffic to illegal cargo such as drugs. The employers' association of the port of Antwerp (CEPA), port community federation Alfaport VOKA, and the Common Trade Union Front of the port have therefore launched a video campaign, titled Snel bijverdienen (making a quick buck), to raise awareness and make sure that staff do not get tempted to becoming accomplices. The port regularly makes headline news with dock workers finding metric tons of cocaine or even helping the police by trapping smugglers in containers. "The port of Antwerp is strongly connected with South American ports in its general trade, such as fruits, but unfortunately together with the general trade, the drugs are smuggled in," Yann Pauwels, director of CEPA, told P&H. Following shootings and violent incidents in Antwerp in fall 2020, which called a police operation into action, Antwerp's mayor, Bart De Wever, told local newspaper De Morgen, "There are indications that these conflicts arise in the context of the import or sale of large consignments of drugs." |
