UA long-term trial, like that of the attacks in Brussels, is like a novel. A beginning and an end, chapters and twists. Lengths, certainly. But also moments of immense intensity.
A sequence ended this week (or almost since there will remain a witness on Monday morning): that of the testimonies of victims and civil parties. Monday followingnoon, a news must open, that of the interrogation of the defendants.
After an incredible delay due to this story of the boxes, judged in fine contrary to the basic rights of the defence, following the painful debates on the strip searches, following the long but necessary description of the investigation… this historic trial that was announced (hoped for?) succeeds. Eventually.

In conclusion, the trial of the Brussels terror attack victims has been a long and intense journey, filled with twists and turns. But as the testimonies come to a close, we must now shift our focus to the defendants and their interrogation. This historic trial has faced its fair share of delays and debates, but it has ultimately succeeded in bringing justice to those affected by the tragedy. As the trial continues, we must continue to honor and support the victims and their families.
