Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne will meet representatives of victims of sexual abuse by priests on Thursday.
They will also hold talks with the Bishop of Antwerp, Johan Bonny, the Prime Minister’s entourage said on Wednesday.
The broadcast of the VRT documentary 'Godvergeten,' in which victims of sex abuse by clerics along with their relatives gave testimonies, sent shockwaves through Flanders, and a broad consensus is emerging in favour of a parliamentary committee of enquiry.
The subject will be on the agenda of the Chamber’s Justice Committee next Wednesday.
