While Emmanuel Macron plans to “financially and easily punish families, a kind of minimum rate from the first bullshit”, as told by Le Parisien, the Republicans have, according to our information, tabled a bill for “a firmer and more dissuasive justice against juvenile delinquents and their families”, this Tuesday, July 4 in the morning in the Senate.
A text presented by Senator LR from Bouches-du-Rhône, Stéphane Le Rudulier, and already co-signed by around twenty parliamentarians from the LR group and the Macronist senator from Guyana Marie-Laure Phinera-Horth, with the objective of “developing the law to better protect the representatives of law enforcement and the State but also to condemn more strongly minor offenders while empowering their families”. Three strong measures are included.
Imprisonment in the event of an attack on an elected official or a representative of the State
A week after the start of the riots, LR senators are demanding to change the law to include minimum sentences and firm imprisonment in the event of an attack on elected officials or state representatives.
“Whoever attacks a police officer, a firefighter or an elected official must be certain that he will definitely end up in prison. The legislator has the duty to ensure that sufficient and automatic penalties are applied to all those who attack the infantrymen of the Republic, our everyday heroes”, can we read in the bill, while several police were taken to task during the riots, including when they were off duty and several elected officials were attacked, even at their homes.

“This violence against state representatives is reaching a record level, a sign of advanced decivilization”, write the elected LR, “the scarf and the uniform, symbols of republican authority, no longer protect”. Requested from the long right by elected LRs, these minimum sentences had also been put in the debate by Édouard Philippe, at the beginning of February.
Lowering of the criminal majority to 16 years
The very young age of the rioters having struck elected officials as well as the police on the ground, the Republican senators consider it necessary to lower the criminal majority to 16 years.
“Delinquency has evolved, younger and younger individuals are committing more and more serious offenses and crimes. Faced with the evolution of delinquency and criminality, the law must also evolve and adapt, otherwise the republican State condemns itself to impotence and ties its hands. The criminal majority must thus be lowered in order to punish with certainty and more servitude these minors ”, argue the elected LR.
“This bill therefore wants minors aged 16 and 17 to systematically incur the same criminal penalties as adults,” they argue.
Abolition of all allowances and social housing for families
It is a proposal demanded from the long right by Les Républicains, in particular by Éric Ciotti, who had passed a law in 2010 before it was repealed under François Hollande. In article 3 of their bill, the LR senators want to “remove all family benefits and all rights to social housing from those who are responsible for a child who has been convicted of a crime or an offense “.
Therefore, the right to social housing would be “limited to the end of the execution of the sentence and family benefits would be suspended during the first twelve months of the sentence. In the event of a repeat offence, family benefits would be suspended for the entire period of the sentence”.
