Thierry Lentz is a historian and teacher. He has just published “ On the banks of the Seine… History and secrets of Napoleon’s tomb” Lentz: “No, the Court of Auditors is not a “pillar of democracy”” He says the Court's decision to delay publication of its immigration report has a bad effect on public opinion.

The Court has expanded the scope of its control on its own, Lentz says. He says it is certainly constitutional but in no way democratic, if only by the method.
