The protests within the judiciary have been shifted higher in recent days and weeks. Central is the pension reform that the De Wever government is working on, but that file seems to be mainly the drop that the bucket makes over, after the judiciary has been on the Wailing Wall for years due to a lack of people and resources.
Flemish Minister for Justice Zuhal Demir (N-VA) finds the situation « very alarming ». « This is very dangerous in a democracy and rule of law, » Demir said on the public broadcaster. The minister understands « that the bucket is full », but you do not solve that by not performing your work properly, it was said.
Former Federal Minister of Tigchelt, today in the opposition, also seems to be on that wavelength. « They have the right to make their displeasure known, » said the liberal, but « it becomes dangerous if the judiciary is used to attack the executive. That leads to erosion of the rule of law »
He also shows himself critically for Prime Minister De Wever. According to Van Tigchelt, he must call the top of the judiciary to his cabinet and help find a solution. Then it doesn’t help if you throw « oil on the fire and put the Brussels attorney of the Konings away as a PS crew. »
