Le juge a motivé sa décision par le constat que le port du masque obligatoire dans l'espace public est anticonstitutionnel.

The Brussels police court rendered a judgment on January 12, acquitting a man summoned to appear for not wearing a mask, his lawyer, Me Hélène Alexandris, said on Thursday. The judge justified his decision by the observation that the compulsory wearing of a mask in public space is unconstitutional. Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden said the prosecution had appealed the decision.
