Passage of arms on justice and the rule of law
The Minister of the Interior “was able to deliver his vision, and his concern about the feelings of the police regarding the non-application of sentences”, according to the entourage of the tenant of Place Beauvau. “They also discussed the question of prison places. The two ministers get along well, they do not envisage communication fights,” we explain in the circle of the Minister of the Interior.
Last week was marked by several skirmishes between the two ministers. On September 24, traveling to La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis), Bruno Retailleau considered that there had been “for too long a right to non-execution of judicial sentences”, calling for “sentences and sanctions to fall” by reviewing “a number of frameworks for changing penal policy”. Comments undermined by Didier Migaud for whom “lax justice does not exist.”

Bruno Retailleau and Didier Migaud also shared different positions on the rule of law. On September 29, in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche, the new Minister of the Interior considered that “the rule of law is neither intangible nor sacred.” Comments which tensed the left and part of the macronie.
For his part, Didier Migaud, Minister of Justice, called for “the rule of law to be respected.” “Indeed, we can have different starting points and then arrival points which, I hope, will be closer,” said the tenant of Place Vendôme. The two ministers were received together by Michel Barnier at Matignon last Thursday. The opportunity certainly to reduce tensions between the two ministers.
