Laurent Nuñez to contest Darmanin's note on sexual violence investigations
French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has announced his intention to respond point by point to a twelve-page note submitted by Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin. The note, which surfaced following the Lyhanna case involving an 11-year-old girl in Gers, details systemic issues in the handling of sexual violence investigations against minors.
According to the document, there are significant concerns regarding phantom files, abandoned or lost investigations, and insufficient staffing and training within investigative services. The note has drawn sharp criticism from police unions, some of whom have accused Darmanin of betrayal.
Nuñez stated he intends to contest several claims in the document, specifically disputing the reported number of lost files. He emphasized the need for continued cooperation between police, gendarmerie, and public prosecutors. To address difficulties in the investigation sector, Nuñez noted a revalorization plan that includes allowances approved in the 2026 budget.
