Gérald Darmanin Appointed as France's New Minister of Justice on December 24, 2024, Prioritizes Victims and Narcotraffic
Dec 24, 2024, 11:03 AM
Gérald Darmanin has been appointed as France's new Minister of Justice, succeeding Didier Migaud. During the official handover ceremony, Migaud expressed his regret at leaving the position, stating, "I have loved this ministry and I leave it with regret." Darmanin emphasized his commitment to victims, asserting, "I will always be on the side of victims and never on the side of delinquents and definitively condemned criminals." He also highlighted the importance of addressing narcobanditism and drug trafficking as a top priority for his tenure. Migaud, in his farewell remarks, underscored the essential role of a strong and respected judiciary in a viable democracy. Darmanin's previous role as Minister of the Interior raised questions among some legal professionals regarding his suitability for the justice portfolio, given his critical views on the judiciary. The transition marks a significant shift in the French government's approach to justice, with Darmanin pledging to work closely with the Interior Ministry.
