• Covid-19 Netherlands, the sacred freedom of citizens that prevents the fight against the coronavirus

  • Pandemic Netherlands, kidnapped by hooded youth rioted against curfew

The deniers have taken Mark Rutte's official strategy to court and are managing to challenge him, at least for now.

They managed to overturn in court and for several hours the only restriction on mobility that the Dutch Government has actually applied since March last year: the curfew.

The Government challenged the decision before another Court because it considers that the measure is "necessary" to stop the infections.

In the end, he managed to maintain the restriction until Friday, when the judges will analyze the content of the appeal presented and the legitimacy of the measure.

With this, the Government has gained a few days to seek legal alternatives on which to base the curfew, perhaps through the regular legislative route, seeking the support of Parliament and the Senate, because otherwise, on Friday there is a risk that the Justice to overturn the restriction for lack of basis.

The judges have considered that the interest of the Dutch State to maintain this restriction outweighs the desire of the complainants to lift the curfew by depriving their freedom of movement and privacy, which was what they argued.

Although the judges have made it clear: the curfew is already being applied and that is why the court does not support the suspension at the moment, but in the substantive procedure it is decided that the measure cannot go ahead, then the Government will not have it no choice but to abide by justice, unless in these two days can convince the judges otherwise.

"The curfew applies, also tonight.

The coronavirus is not yet under control

. It is still important to stay at home, socialize with the fewest number of people and comply with all measures," Rutte celebrated after obtaining judicial support in a session against the clock.

The leader of Viruswaarheid, Willem Engel, who made the complaint, considered that the judges are "making a big mistake" allowing the curfew to remain in force for the next few days.

"This is unacceptable," he lamented.

A few hours earlier, the activist had felt "very satisfied with the decision" of the judge who had agreed with him and assured that "he had lost faith in justice" because his organization had lost previous cases against the Dutch State in recent years. months.

In the end, the joy did not last long, although he does not lose hope for Friday.

While the Dutch government tried to curb the suspension of the restriction against the current, Engel called for "street parties" with "lots of people" to celebrate the victory.

In response to this,

the Government asked "not to go out into the streets" and "use common sense, instead of letting go

.

"

Rutte himself had said that whatever happens in court, people should adhere to the curfew because, otherwise, "it would immediately have a serious impact on the fight against coronavirus" and alerted society that the The fact that the measure had no legal basis at the time of its approval "does not mean that it is not necessary" to apply it to control the pandemic.

"It is not an end in itself, it is a means"

to stop infections, he justified.

Viruswaarheid disagrees.

Since his denial arguments, he has filed a total of 12 lawsuits against the Dutch State for the measures applied against the coronavirus, for which several lawsuits are pending, including one against the obligation to wear masks in closed spaces accessible to the public.

At the end of December, this group also won a summary process against the obligation to enter the Netherlands with a negative PCR, but the government revised the regulation and legally imposed its use again.

Although the small judicial victory on Tuesday does not agree with his interpretation of reality, it

allowed Engel several moments of glory in the media

to insist that the coronavirus is just one more flu.
