(ANSA) - PARIS, JUN 05 - After the furious controversy erupted in France on the state of justice, President Emmanuel Macron took the initiative, announced this morning, to launch the "general states of justice", one year after the end of his mandate at 'Elisha.
The head of state, in a short message released by the presidency, reaffirmed his "deep conviction" in the "separation of powers", but expressed the will that "the Minister of Justice is accountable every year to the Parliament on the government's criminal policy".
Francois Molins, former public prosecutor, now prosecutor of the Court of Cassation, one of the most important French judges, in an interview with Le Monde a few weeks ago sent back to the sender the accusations of "laxity" against the judiciary expressed by the right and the police unions . To add to this chorus of accusations, the wave of indignation at the decision of a court to declare the murderer of the elderly Parisian Jew Sarah Halimi criminally irresponsible, for having killed the woman under the effects of drugs.
On May 19, tens of thousands of policemen demonstrated in front of Parliament - and with them was the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin - against what they denounce as the slowness and laxity of justice in France. (HANDLE).
