D-Day for one of the biggest surprises of the reshuffle. The new Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti assured "to the whole judicial family" that he would be the Keeper of the Seals "of dialogue" and that he would not "wage war on anyone" on Tuesday during the handover of power with his predecessor Nicole Belloubet.
The new Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti also said Tuesday he wanted to be "the Keeper of the Seals who will finally bring the reform of the prosecution", at the heart of recurring criticisms of the independence of Justice.
"The long awaited parquet reform"
“I want to move forward on a project that is close to my heart: the independence of the judiciary. I wish to be the Keeper of the Seals who will finally carry out the long awaited reform of the prosecution, "said the former criminal lawyer. "My ministry will also be that of anti-racism and human rights," he also promised during the handover with his predecessor Nicole Belloubet.
After the appointment of this thundering tenor of the bar, often critical of judges and the prosecution, the USM, the main union of magistrates, had denounced Monday a "declaration of war on the judiciary".
