10 people go to court against curfew in the province of Antwerp: “They have a point,” say constitutional specialists

According to Professor of Constitutional Law Stefan Sottiaux, they do have a point: “That curfew actually boils down to a kind of house arrest. That is not always unconstitutional, but you have to have strong arguments for it. You have to prove that there are no other ways that you’ve really tried everything to avoid late-night gatherings, because that’s what it’s about. “

Certainly outside the city centers, there are questions to ask, Sottiaux continues: “You can imagine something in certain neighborhoods in the metropolis, but in rural municipalities in the Kempen such a curfew has been taken.”
