The president of the Republic Emmanuel Macron President Macron called on Wednesday for restraint in expressing emotion or making knee-jerk reactions to the Lyhanna case, which has deeply shocked the public. During the Council of Ministers meeting, the head of state acknowledged the existence of "clear dysfunctions" and stated that this case raised broader questions about citizens' trust in institutions. He also expressed his support for the young victim's family, while advocating for a response based on facts rather than the pressure of the moment.
According to government spokesperson Maud Bregeon, Emmanuel Macron stressed the need to precisely identify the responsibilities involved, whether individual or related to potential structural failures within the public services concerned. The president wishes to await the conclusions of the ongoing inspections, expected on June 19, in order to determine the measures to be taken and any reforms to be implemented.
Responsibilities and resources at the heart of the debate
The government assures that no avenue will be ruled out following the investigations. If sanctions are to be imposed or if the child protection bill requires amendments, these will be decided in light of the findings of the administrative inquiries. The government also affirms that no institutional actor will be able to escape scrutiny of its responsibilities in this particularly sensitive matter.
When questioned about criticisms of insufficient resources for the justice system, Maud Bregeon defended the government's actions, noting that the ministry's budget had never been so high. The issue of resources allocated to judicial and child protection institutions has become a central topic of public debate since the tragedy, fueling questions about the ability of these services to prevent such situations.
