Ségolène Royal has launched a scathing critique of the French government, accusing it of applying justice selectively. She argues that authorities exhibit excessive brutality against student protesters while showing leniency toward influential figures convicted of serious crimes. Royal highlights the case of Jean-Marc Morandini, who returned to work in television production following his final convictions for corruption of minors and sexual harassment, as a symbol of this moral failure. Beyond the media landscape, she points to the lack of transparency in the suspicious deaths of key witnesses in high-profile political scandals. According to Royal, the regime's emphasis on authority has become an instrument of power used against the most vulnerable, undermining public trust in the French legal and institutional framework.
