"I am scared by my behavior"
A young man from Ghent who sang a racist song on Saturday at the Pukkelpop festival, claims & # 39; bang & # 39; to be by his own behavior. "To my great regret, I am one of the young people who sings the song in this video, it was without thinking and without knowing the consequences," he told the newspaper Het Belang van Limburg.
"I am afraid of my own behavior, which is not at all in accordance with the person I am or wish to be", says the young man. "I find the way I am made public today very serious, and I apologize to anyone who feels offended and especially to the two women who rightly find this unacceptable." The Public Prosecution Service in Limburg opened an investigation Monday after a young Brussels woman and her sister complained that they were physically and verbally abused, without any response from witnesses. A video broadcast on social networks shows a group of young people serial racist words in Dutch: "Cutting hands, Congo is ours" ("Cutting hands, Congo is ours").
