The relatives of Julie Van Espen, raped and murdered in 2019, are not only suing the Belgian state, they are also launching the project “Mission Julie / Mission Justice“, we learned on Friday. This aims to find solutions to the dysfunctions of Justice which, according to the family, contributed to the death of the young woman.
With this subpoena, the Van Espen family wishes to obtain an apology from the government and force it to remedy, among other things, the lack of staff in the courts, the lack of transparency of the Ministry of Justice and the long processing times. files. “A complaint against the Belgian state still seemed the only way to obtain an apology. We are filing it now, still within the five-year statute of limitations” noted Julie’s father, Erik Van Espen. “But we also want to associate something positive with the project“, he said.
“With ‘Mission Julie / Mission Justice’, we want to work interactively with citizens, or even judges, to progress towards better justice. We have listed numerous objectives, particularly in terms of human resources policy, support for judges and transparency.“
Countryside “Mission Julie / Mission Justice” was launched through a shocking poster, where we see Julie Van Espen in front of a war memorial in Geneva. The latter has the shape of a broken chair leg. “This is how we express our point of view, Justice currently has a broken foot, which we want to put back together and strengthen“, added Julie’s brother, Andreas Van Espen. “We invite everyone to contribute to the mission. We want to work structurally for a viable judicial system in Belgium.“
