Belloubet deplores Mélenchon's "paranoid game"

Paris (AFP) – Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet lamented on Sunday the "paranoid game" and the "drift" of insubordinate French President Jean-Luc Mélenchon who questioned him about the searches and investigations aimed at his left.

"I can not enter the paranoid game of Jean-Luc Mélenchon," said the Minister of Justice at the Grand Jury RTL / LCI / Le Figaro, ensuring that "there is obviously no conspiracy" against him.

In an interview in La Provence on Saturday, Mr. Mélenchon lambasted the "despicable behavior" of Ms. Belloubet who he said "knew what was going to happen" and "let it go."

"Justice is not in order, not in our country," badured Ms. Belloubet, who lamented "a drift" of Mr. Mélenchon and repeated giving "no individual instruction to prosecutors".

Asked about security in schools and the possibility of badigning police forces, as announced by the Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner, the custody of the Seals recalled that "the school is not not a house of recovery ", but" a place where knowledge must prevail ".

But "it is necessary that the school head can have access to the police" in case of "singular disorder in the establishment" or its surroundings, she added, not excluding that "in some areas "there may be" a police referent ". The measures will be detailed Tuesday in the Council of Ministers.

On the establishment of fixed phones in prison, Ms. Belloubet recalled that this measure was "related to the jamming of mobile phones", which will be inaugurated "first in the prison of Health" and "in the safest institutions ".

It will take "about two years" to generalize this device that provides "pre-recorded numbers" to the number of "four" for prisoners, which will obviously not have access to the Internet.

While France wants to repatriate some of the 150 children of French jihadists reported in Syria, Ms. Belloubet evaded the calendar but stressed that this was a "case by case", to be "imprint of humanism and prevention ". But "mothers stay in Syria," she added.

Finally questioned about a possible candidacy for the European elections, Ms. Belloubet badured that she had not "considered". "But if you push me, I'll think about it," she said, adding, "I do not know, I have not thought about this question."
