Is this allowed (NO) does this happen (YES)
Wow wow wow. So last month we were shocked (well, shocked, a kind of surprise steeped in cynicism) by the fact that the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport consistently violates the Open Government Act by keeping draft documents secret. It turns out that the Ministry of Pandemic and Force Majeure is not an exception at all, but simply a consequence of government-wide agreed policy. The Rutte doctrine is more alive than ever. Then read Follow the Papertrail: “Ministries have mutually decided not to release ‘draft’ documents in requests for government information, according to recently published documents. Top officials know that by doing so they are going against the judgment of several judges.” Good news for a Wilders I cabinet. The top civil servants in the Netherlands have no qualms about sidelining the rule of law.
