Jacques Toubon, who is preparing to leave this independent authority after 6 years, leading in particular to the “crisis of confidence of citizens towards the security forces”.

Meet the inequality “exacerbated” by the containment and the “crisis of confidence” vis-à-vis the forces of the order : the human rights Defender was delivered on Monday tips to appease a country, moreover, bedeviled by the erasure of public services. “Social and geographical inequalities, the declines in public services are already at work have been exacerbated” with the outbreak of new coronavirus, writes Jacques Toubon, who is preparing to leave the independent authority after six years at its head.
