Parliament definitely adopted Monday, after a final vote of the Senate, a draft Gabriel Attal’s bill to adjust minors justice and train parents of delinquent minors.
The text of the former prime minister, adopted in the same terms in the National Assembly last week, was approved by 223 senators against 112. The Assembly had approved it in 341 votes and 187 against.
The left promises to confiscate the Constitutional Council
The left has strongly opposed, promising to seize the Constitutional Council on certain devices, such as the immediate appearance for 16 -year -old youth recurrences, or even attenuation of the principle of “the minority excuse.”
Restoring the authority “of Justice,” empower “the parents and” judge more quickly “minors of recurring crime: the initiative of the former prime minister revolves around these three promises, formulated after the disturbances of the summer of 2023, which involves many young people.
The group leader Together for the Republic (EPR) defends the need to “return to simple and clear principles” and “adapt our criminal response”, because “the young people of 2025 are not the young people of 1945”, the date of the publication of the order that sets the specific criminal procedure rules for minors in France.
“The text does not defeat the balance of our minors judge. It does not replace the repression of education. Articulates to ensure that the judicial response is rapid, adapted and effective,” justified the Minister of Relations with Parliament, Patrick Mignola before the senators.
Immediate appearance for 16 -year -old recurities
The reform provides in particular the creation of a civil fine for parents who did not respond to the citation to the hearings, or the creation of an immediate appearance procedure for young repid offices of 16 years.
Another flagship device: the investment of the principle of “the minority excuse”, according to which a minor is sanctioned with less severity than an adult. From the age of 16, this will become the exception that should be motivated by the judge and no longer by the rule, for cases of recurrence punished for at least five years in prison.
In the Assembly, the flagship measures had been abolished in the committee, before reborn in the public session. The same scenario in the Senate, where the Rapporteur Francis Szpiner, a member of the Republicans allied to the Renaissance in the government’s coalition, had expressed a look more than critical of this text, fearing “a written law” under the coup of emotion “,” useless “and” inapplied. “
But the Government Alliance has dismantled to save the initiative and preserve most of the key measures, thanks in particular to the mobilization of the Guardian of the Gérald Darmanin seals, supporter of the text.
