The Minister of Justice believes that the proposals of the Republican presidential candidate in terms of security make “no sense”.
Éric Dupond-Moretti, the Minister of Justice, guest of franceinfo Thursday February 17, commented on the proposals on the security of Valérie Pécresse, LR presidential candidate. “Here is what Madame Pécresse would like people who have the bracelet [électronique] intended to avoid prison, they are locked up in prefabricated buildings. It would be necessary to get people out of the penitentiary to keep people who have a bracelet, it is abysmal foolishness”launched the Keeper of the Seals.

The Keeper of the Seals also reacted to the proposals for territorialized sentences wanted by Valérie Pécresse. Heavier penalties if the acts are committed in difficult neighborhoods. The “the motto of the French Republic is liberty, equality, fraternity”. “It is five times unconstitutional what Madame Pécresse is proposing”assured the Keeper of the Seals.
“Do you find it normal that a theft, for example, is more punished in a difficult district than in a beautiful district?”asks the Minister of Justice. “Frankly, people still have common sense. We are in a permanent one-upmanship, we can say everything but not just anything”was indignant Éric Dupond-Moretti.
