Nathalie Gallant, by her own admission, confides that psychological help would be welcome in her role. After 30 years of career, she questions her ability to protect herself from legal decisions, because letting her shell crack “can sometimes lead to what we call slippage“. In 2024, he is for her. “high time to care about humans“This political choice is also a question of means.
Indeed, the situation is getting worse according to her and Luc Hennart: the Belgian judicial system is subject to more pressure, with fewer human resources, and is therefore becoming more and more bogged down. The magistrates would like to put an end to this famous slowness of the judicial system.
This is why Master Gallant warns: “You should know that lawyers and magistrates are currently under enormous pressure in terms of workload.“.
She specifies:
The trials pile up with the emotion attached to them. More and more often, we see a lawyer or a magistrate who no longer appears for a few weeks. Believe me, no one imagines that he or she has gone on vacation. Modestly, we wonder if it’s a physical problem or burn-out. And this is valid for the entire judicial family.
A feeling shared by Luc Hennart: “The colleagues who must in principle take charge of a hearing are not there, the files that you have to write you have much more to fill in the gaps… I believe that this is a feeling that is experienced very deeply in the judiciary in the broad sense : judges, clerks and prosecutors. We are faced with a barrel of danaides: we can do whatever we want, we have the impression of not moving forward. We fill the gaps, we plug the holes“.
