There's just not enough legal basis for the Ministerial Decree on the covid19 restrictions.
So all the mandatory social distance, mask wearing, lockdowns, curfews, ... all this was illegal and must be ended.
However, as it has been said : 5,000 € / day (and maximum 200,000 € in total) is ridiculous. They won't pay it or pay this with public money at worst.
Not to mention they can make appeal of the Court decision and there's a "Pandemic Law" in debate, so they're just trying to set a legal basis to all these measures anyway.
We'll see because that could be a spark of hope and I don't want to doom but I also have zero trust in my government.
The press titles are misleading (not surprising, I know...) : the Court didn't ask for the measures to be lifted BUT the State has to make them legally valid (ie : vote a law, which leads to the so-called Pandemic Law in discussion).
So no restrictions need to be lifted, they just have 30 days to "conform and make it legal".
The case was filed by the HRL (Human Rights League, LDH in French) which argued that the Law used to pass the Ministerial Decree was irrelevant (some law from May 2007), thus leading to the Court's recent decision.
The Belgian State already appealed to the Court's decision and will likely put more pressure on the Parliament to pass the Pandemic Law (which would set legal measures that can be applied instantly, any time a "sanitary crisis" is declared).
That's about it for now. I will try to keep you guys updated in the coming days.
I'm Belgian and this is genuine news.

Also from Belgium here. This isn’t going to pass. They have 30 days to find a backdoor. I give it 2 days to be dismissed or overruled.
Sadly enough, I have to agree with you.
Plus Belgium is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Our Justice system is just completely messed up !
So anyway, the State apparently already appealed.
How about vaxxine?
Vaccines aren't mandatory (yet) and they said they wouldn't make them be.
But we also know they have an agenda and they'll lie as much as necessary.
They're gonna push for it as a voluntary measure, which 80-90% will want anyway because they're scared due to the daily "scary" news.
I'm keeping an eye on the news, waiting for them to deny the Court decision. And I'll try to keep you updated
ThankQ
