Michel Erpelding gave an interview on the legislative proposal to constitutionalize the state of emergency to Radio 100.7
11 April 2016
“A constitutional provision will not protect us against terrorism”
On March 31st, Michel Erpelding and the jurists Véronique Bruck and Julie Wieclawski wrote an open letter in which they cautioned against enshrining a state of emergency within the Constitution. After a first examination by the Chamber (at committee level), a draft constitutional amendment was submitted to the Council of State for opinion.
For Michel Erpelding, this draft amendment is based on short-term political considerations rather than on a sound assessment of available legal instruments.
This interview is available on the Radio 100.7 website.
