Murder of Lyhanna: Rush to blame French judiciary, ‘no one at political level taking responsibility’
France
Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer in Economics at the Lancaster University. According to Foucart, the French parliament hearings are fundamentally driven by a desire to establish responsibility in the wake of a national tragedy that has sparked outrage across France. He argues that French society may be entering a period of reassessment regarding safeguarding standards, parental responsibility, and the balance between children’s freedom and security. And stronger measures may come at a social cost, potentially signalling “the end of innocence or the end of children roaming freely,” a trade-off that many societies are increasingly confronting.
