Belgian ordered to lift all coronavirus measures

[mellowyellow]

The Belgian State has been ordered to lift “all coronavirus measures” within 30 days, as the legal basis for them is insufficient, a Brussels court ruled on Wednesday.

The League for Human Rights had filed the lawsuit several weeks ago and challenged Belgium’s system of implementing the measures using Ministerial Decrees, which means it is done without any input from parliament.

The judge gave the Belgian State 30 days to provide a sound legal basis, or face a penalty of €5,000 per day that this period is exceeded, with a maximum limit of €200,000, reports Le Soir.

The anti-lockdown demonstrators will see this as a sign they were right. Common sense has gone out the window IMO.

Legal Smeegal. The goddamned virus sure is sufficient to sicken and kill people. Human Rights my ass.

It isn't about whether the lock down was needed. It is about how it was mandated. The judge made the correct call. If Parliament wants to do it right, nothing is stopping them.

I preferred the Belgian chocolate thread better.
