Prime Minister Gabriel Attal declared Thursday that he wanted to “open the debate” on this legal principle resulting from the Penal Code. The subject had already been put on the table during the Shana affair, and it is again with the Shemseddine affair.
Attal: “We must look at things lucidly.’ 'We must not forget that a kid is a kid,' he said. 'We have to take responsibility and discernment,' he said, 'and we must not let the minor get off lightly.'
