France’s justice minister decision not to resign ‘may well be taken out of his hands’
France
France’s justice minister Gerald Darmanin Monday refused to resign after outrage erupted over judicial lapses in the handling of the suspect in an 11-year-old girl’s killing. Speaking with FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen, Andrew Smith, Lecturer in Liberal Arts at Queen Mary’s London, says that Darmanin’s decision not to resign “may well be taken out of his hands at some point” adding that “there’s a lot of public anger here and the justice ministry trying to say that it’s the fault of magistrates is not landing, people are not buying this”.
