Éric Dupond-Moretti remains supported by Emmanuel Macron after his referral to the Court of Justice of the Republic

Referred to the Court of Justice of the Republic on Monday October 3, Éric Dupond-Moretti is weakened, but he is still supported by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. Journalist Anne Bourse reports live from the Élysée. Thus, a resignation is not on the agenda. According to the journalist, an adviser to the head of state said: “We come out of the Balladur case law.” Thus, an indicted minister does not need to resign. This was, however, the doctrine of Emmanuel Macron’s first five-year term.

Since July 2021 and the indictment of Éric Dupond-Moretti, the President of the Republic has displayed unfailing support for the Keeper of the Seals. The standoff between the unions of the judiciary therefore continues. “The case is not only judicial, it is also very political”assures Anne Bourse
