The French are worried about their justice. A large majority of respondents (73%) believe that the judicial institution “works badly”. The figure has never been so high for 60 years, according to an Ifop poll for the Sunday newspaper unveiled on Saturday July 23. Moreover, 65% of respondents believe that judges are not “not strict enough”an even higher figure among supporters of the “radical right” (82%).
In terms of the fight against insecurity, the record of the President of the Republic since his election is judged “negative” at 69% while its action in terms of justice is judged negatively at 73%. Two years after his arrival in government, 30% of respondents consider “positive” the action of the Minister of Justice Éric Dupond-Moretti while 44% of those questioned have a bad opinion of him.
This survey comes as the Minister began a series of consultations on Monday with citizens and players in the judicial world as a whole, ten days after the presentation to Emmanuel Macron of the report on the Estates General of Justice, judged “on the verge of breaking”. The two main magistrates’ unions, in conflict with the minister, refused his invitation.
*The survey was carried out on a sample of 1,017 people representative of the French population aged 18 and over, questioned by self-administered online questionnaire on July 21 and 22.
