Belgian PS demands resignation of MR alderman convicted of assaulting police

The Charleroi Federation of the Socialist Party (PS) has called for the resignation of Joël Hasselin, an MR alderman in Courcelles, after he was convicted by the Charleroi Correctional Court for rebellion and voluntary assault on police officers. The PS argues that a conviction for violence against police disqualifies him from the municipal college. This is a local political dispute in Belgium, with no immediate broader implications.
