Belgian police break up 52 person orgy in a house next door to a Covid clinic

Belgian police this weekend broke up a 52-person sex party at a house in front of a Covid clinic, just two weeks after an all-male orgy in Brussels ended the career of an anti-gay Hungarian MEP.

Police raided a 28th birthday party in the early of Sunday in the Ardennes town of Saint-Mard in the south-east corner of the country, just two miles from the border with France. All the people taking part, including escort girls, were French. They were described as naked or lightly dressed when the 20-strong police squad raided the party.

The police fined each of them the standard €250 fine for failing to comply with anti-coronavirus measures which forbid any gathering of more than four people in a closed space. Two of them were also fined for possession of narcotics and laughing gas capsules.

François Culot, the mayor of the local commune of Virton, said he was outraged at the party, which took place at a villa just a few steps from the entrance of the Edmond-Jacques clinic. “I’m angry. Some people really don’t respect anything! Organizing an illegal party in the middle of the night in front of a clinic where Covid patients are treated? This is unacceptable!”

Mr Culot pointed out that it was just a week earlier that Virton’s hairdressers protested the rules that forced them to close their salons, putting their livelihood at stake.

“Many small businesses are desperate. Young hairdressers who have just started won’t be able to recover. At a time when we’re asking everyone to make an effort, and everything has to be done to stop the spread of the virus, some are breaking the rules in a shameful way. The attitude of these French revellers is totally outrageous!”

This is the third Belgian sex party this month that police have raided. Two weeks ago, anti-gay Hungarian MEP Jozsef Szajer was caught climbing out of a window naked after police raided a sex party in Brussels involving 25 men. Mr Szajer resigned as an MEP and later said that he was under “mental strain”. And last week, police broke up a ten-person in the northern city of Paal, just 20 miles from the Dutch border.

Belgium has a reputation for sex parties, especially amongst French swingers, who call the orgies ‘partouzes’.

In 2015, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former International Monetary Fund chief and one-time French presidential hopeful was acquitted by a court of "aggravated pimping" after it emerged that he was a regular attendee at a Belgian brothel where sex parties took place.

Mr Strauss-Kahn denied knowing that some of the women who took part in orgies he attended were prostitutes at ‘Club Madame’ run by notorious Belgian brothel owner Dominique Alderweireld, who refers to himself as Dodo the Pimp.
