In both the Belgian and Dutch cases a solution was found But in Luxembourg the Grand Duke’s refusal to sign the bill was causing a constitutional crisis and officials were concerned he could try to prevent future laws So, they changed the constitution to strip him of that power

🇳🇱 Shortly after the end of World War II, The Netherlands had a “conscientious objector” of its own with its monarch at the time Queen Juliana in 1951 and 1952 refused to sign the death warrants of four Nazis known as the Breda Four Instead they were sentenced to life in prison

The work around? King Baudouin of the Belgians asked the government to declare him unfit to rule for 24 hours The constitution stated if the king was unfit to rule the government assumed the role of head of state So, for one day Belgium had no monarch and the bill was signed

🇧🇪 There was precedent for this in neighbouring Belgium where officials there had found a way around the then King Baudouin’s refusal to sign a bill legalising abortion in 1990 Again the monarch claimed his catholic faith prevented him from approving the legislation

Henri, a devout Catholic, said he couldn’t sign the bill because of “reasons of conscience” Officials were blindsided by his decision because the democratically elected parliament had voted to legalise euthanasia, and had wrongly assumed the monarch would sanction the law

🇱🇺 This is Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg - who’s stepping down later this year Eight years into his reign, in 2008, he caused a constitutional crisis when he tried to use his ‘veto power’ to stop a euthanasia bill Henri’s approval and signature was needed for it to become law

Sometimes I’ll be sent on a story in a part of England I don’t know well at all and I’m always surprised that some of these towns and villages are real places and not names of locations in novels Today is one of those days
