We know a little more about Eric Dupond-Moretti's roadmap. Neither "lax" nor "ultra-repressive": it is indeed the vision of justice that the Keeper of the Seals revealed in an interview this Sunday at the JDD.
Combating domestic violence
The new minister outlines some priorities ranging from the fight against domestic violence to firmness in the face of terrorism, through reforms to the prosecution and juvenile justice. In 600 days, he will not be able to do everything, so he will go "on instinct", with "ideas" and the conscience of a man who "owes everything to the Republic": "As a lawyer, I always forbidden men, not causes. This time again, I went there for the man, ”he says to explain why he changed his attorney's robe for the minister's tie at 59.
Details of its objectives were awaited, for the one whose arrival at Place Vendôme aroused as much surprise as concern or even mistrust within the judiciary and among feminist associations, scalded by his critics of the #MeToo movement. At the outset, he demines: "I want men suspected of domestic violence, if they are not brought before the courts, to be summoned by the prosecutor and receive a solemn judicial warning". “This is not a conviction; it is the way to show a man that justice is attentive and that it does not let anything pass ”, he asserts.
His "thinking has evolved" on terrorism
On terrorism, while the Senate will soon examine a controversial text providing "security measures" for those sentenced after their sentence, he confesses that his "thinking has evolved". “I have always been opposed to security detention as envisaged by President Sarkozy, because it sent people to prison not for what they had done but for what they would be likely to do in the country. 'future', he explains. But he says he is "completely in favor" of the imposition of the wearing of the electronic bracelet "for people who have been sentenced for acts of terrorism".
If he is still in favor of the repatriation of women and children detained in Syria, he hides behind his loyalty to a government which "defends the idea that these prisoners must be tried where they committed their acts and which examines at case by case the situation of minors for their repatriation ”.
The reforms which are close to his heart and which he undertakes to carry out remain those of the prosecution - he wants to see the prosecutors appointed, like the judges, on "assent" of the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM): "I want to engrave this rule in the marble of the Constitution "- and of the juvenile justice that he wants" faster and more effective ". Without promising a revolution, he recalls that "justice is at the service of the litigant, not the reverse". Assumed "human rights", he also intends to improve the daily lives of detainees and proposes to generalize the existence of "delegates who, among the prisoners, point out the difficulties and shortcomings".
Yes to feedback
As Minister, he will refrain from "any intervention" in particular cases but defends the principle of feedback. He also undertook to "make public" the conclusions of the General Inspectorate of Justice, seized concerning an investigation linked to Nicolas Sarkozy, in which the fadettes of several lawyers whose own were scrutinized.
The former ogre of the bar knows the immense “need for means” of the courts and claims to have obtained assurances for the 2021 budget which “will increase the pace of the creation of posts for Justice”.
