Yesterday, Minister of Justice Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open Vld) resigned in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Brussels earlier this week. Abdesalem Lassoued was indeed on the radar of the police and the judiciary, but mistakes were made there. In response to the dismissal, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (Open Vld) called together the core cabinet “to create complete clarity”. During a press conference this evening, he announced the decisions of the core cabinet. For example, the federal judicial police in Brussels is being strengthened by fifty people. The flow of information between the immigration department, the judiciary and the police will also be improved.
