Impressive lock of The unlikely fall of a mayor, the reconstruction in NRC From the Schuiling case, as the former mayor of Groningen sighs: “I am so sewn and I still don’t know why. I hope that people understand after reading this article: Kafka exists.”

The reference to Kafka has become sled, but in some cases you can’t ignore it. The shelter case is such a case, especially since the court plays a central role in it, more visible than in it Processthe legendary novel by Franz Kafka.

Schuiling tries, just like the Bankemployé Josef K. Processto prove his innocence, but the facts make no impression on those who have to judge him. Initially, Schuiling seems to underestimate the accusations, he thinks it is without a lawyer. Josef K. reacted with so much indifference that his uncle had to shout to him: “Do you want to lose the process? Do you know what that means? That you simply disappear from the earth. And that your entire family will be dragged along or at least deeply humiliated.”

“A public humiliation,” Schuiling also called his lawsuit in NRC.

“The organization is guilty, the higher officials,” says Josef K. somewhere. He encounters incompetence and moral corruption. It already starts with the judge of instruction that asks him: “You are a house painter?” “No,” said K., “I am the first attorney with a large bank.” This answer followed the party on the right -hand side that was so cordial that K. had to laugh.

At Schuiling, a police officer plays a dubious role, he understands a remark of shelter incorrectly, which, notes NRC, arises a confusion of speech “that will be all -determining to the further course of the events.”

Finally, after the necessary schutter, it ends at the OM in the verdict of a police judge in Zwolle, who considers it proven that Schuiling has openly masturbating in his car. But Schuiling could no longer masturbate, he had become impotent, as his doctor confirmed. The police judge, NRC writes, did not respond to Schuilings Medical File. Why not? “Despite several requests, there was no answer,” said NRC.

The criminal file also contained the crucial medical information. The police judge must therefore have been aware of it.

Kafka could have laughed about this. With him things ended badly with his protagonist, with Schuiling that has to be seen, because there is an appeal.

On the last page of Process Guiding ‘two gentlemen’ K. to the quarry place where they will kill him. Suddenly a window opens somewhere and a person bends outside with arms stretched. “Who was it? A friend? A good person? One who felt sorry? (…) Where was the judge he had never seen? Where was the high dish that he had never reached?”

In the case of Schuiling, they were two investigative journalists, named Bas Haan and Hugo Logtenberg, who bought from the Bogen and their arms window.
