France’s Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has ruled out stepping down amid growing outrage over judicial failings linked to the killing of an 11-year-old girl.
The body of Lyhanna was found last week in south-western France, several days after she disappeared near the town of Fleurance on 29 May. The case has sparked nationwide anger after it emerged that the main suspect had previously faced multiple allegations involving minors.
Speaking on Monday, Darmanin insisted his position was not in question as long as he continued to take responsibility.
