"

In order (...) to take all the measures likely to prevent such a dramatic situation from happening again, the government has decided to launch a formal audit to monitor the security and integrity of the network and Orange services

, ”said the Interior in a statement.

The conclusions of this audit will be submitted to the government within two months.

"Serious and unacceptable dysfunctions"

The CEO of Orange, Stéphane Richard, was summoned to explain himself by the government, which denounced “

serious and unacceptable dysfunctions

”. The leader was summoned to Beauvau to give clarifications, while due to this incident, a two-and-a-half-year-old child died Thursday at the family home in Vendée and two men also died Wednesday in Vannes and on the island of the meeting. Already in the sights of Prime Minister Jean Castex, after the controversy over the quality of the copper network in certain isolated areas of the territory, Stéphane Richard is experiencing one of the most serious crises since his appointment at the head of the former France Télécoms in February 2011.

The breakdown, which prevented or slowed down for several hours on Wednesday access to emergency numbers (15/17/18/112), precipitated the return to France of the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanin, then traveling in Tunisia .
