The Assembly adopts a text returning to the developments in the event of short prison terms – Liberation

Prison rather than the bracelet. The National Assembly adopted, Thursday, April 3, a text to make incarceration the rule rather than the exception by returning to the compulsory development of short imprisonment sentences. The bill was examined at first reading as part of the parliamentary niche of the Horizons group, an annual day reserved for the texts of the elected officials of the elected officials Party of ex-Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.

She is part of a « Willingness to restore the authority of the State, from the local elected official to the magistrate »according to its president Paul Christophe, because « We are convinced that more dissuasive justice is necessary and that it is expected by the French ». The text restores the possibility of pronouncing prison sentences of less than a month and repeals the principle according to which a sentence less than or equal to six months must be the subject of a development, such as the port of the electronic bracelet – except the reasoned decision of the judge.

For the Philippist MP, Loïc Kervran, Criminal policy has suffered in recent years from a « Anti-Prison ideology »with the systematization of arrangements. Citing a report by the Court of Auditors on compulsory arrangements for short sentences which would have led the magistrates to pronounce longer sentences to ensure their execution, the elected official of the Cher advanced that they had not produced the expected effect on the decrease in prison overcrowding.

Carried by Naïma Moutchou, this text, rejected in committee, provides for a minimum sentence of firm imprisonment for acts of violence in recurrence, when they target the police, gendarmes, firefighters or caregivers.

But after an hour of debate, the deputy for Val-d’Oise finally decided to withdraw her bill, accusing the obstruction of the elected officials on the left who, with their ten amendments, prevented the exam to go to her. Indeed, as in any parliamentary « niche », the debates must end at midnight. Earlier, the same argument was also advanced by deputy Xavier Albertini who also withdrew his text on the reception of Travelers. The bill aimed to fight more firmly against illegal field occupations.

During the day, the left continued to denounce texts « Repressive », registering « Stage race » Engaged by the central block, in the words of the ecologist Charles Fournier, who accuses horizons of follow -up with regard to the ideas of the national rally. There « niche » However, as she started, as she had started, in Concorde.
