This is a French political interview focused on the Liana case and broader justice policy. Jean-Philippe Tanguy, speaking for the Rassemblement National, argues that the core problem is not only judicial error but chronic under-resourcing, slow procedures, and poor prioritization. He says the state has failed victims by not giving police, prosecutors, and judges the means to process violence/sexual-abuse cases, and he ties the RN’s program to major hiring increases, prison construction, and stricter discipline inside the judiciary.

Jean-Philippe Tanguy’s main thesis is that the outrage around the Liana case should be directed less at individual magistrates and more at a justice system he describes as underfunded, overloaded, and politically mismanaged. He repeatedly says that France’s justice system is “pauvre,” with too few judges, too few prosecutors, weak investigative resources, and procedures that leave victims waiting while cases move between jurisdictions. In his framing, the tragedy is evidence of a systemic failure that the state knew about long before this case became a scandal. A large part of his argument is budgetary. He compares France with Germany, says France spends far less per inhabitant on justice, and insists that the number of judges and prosecutors is well below the European average. …
Near term, the setup is political: the Liana case keeps pressure on Darmanin and raises demand for visible justice action. The tactical risk is that big announcements like reviewing 70,000 complaints sound credible to voters but look operationally impossible, which could backfire quickly.
Over the next several weeks, the key question is whether the government can turn outrage into measurable justice capacity or whether the RN keeps winning the argument that France lacks staff, prisons, and prioritization. If reforms remain symbolic, Tanguy’s capacity-first framing should gain traction.
Structurally, the interview points to a longer-run shift toward a more interventionist, throughput-focused view of justice: more hiring, more prisons, and tighter political accountability. The enduring implication is that judicial legitimacy will increasingly be judged by protection of victims and execution speed, not only by institutional independence.
The Liana case shows a systemic justice failure driven by lack of resources, not just individual fault.

Est-ce que vous étiez dans ces cortèges ? Est-ce que vous avez manifesté ?
Non, il n'a pas manifesté. Il considère que c'était un émoi populaire légitime et témoigne de l'immense chagrin des Français qui soutiennent la famille de Liana.
Qu'est-ce que le RN propose dans son programme pour la justice ? Qu'est-ce que vous proposez pour que plus jamais ça ?
Le RN propose une hausse de 50% du budget de la justice sur un mandat, notamment 4000 magistrats supplémentaires, en doublant le nombre de juges pour revenir à la moyenne européenne. Tangi souligne que la justice française est sous-financée comparée à l'Allemagne, avec trois fois moins de procureurs que la moyenne européenne et des moyens d'investigation très faibles.
Combien de magistrats en plus ? Combien de procureurs ? Quels moyens pour la justice ?
Marine Le Pen s'est engagée sur une hausse de 50% sur un mandat, avec 4000 magistrats de plus en doublant notamment les juges pour revenir à la moyenne européenne. Tangi précise qu'il faut tenir compte de l'inflation dans ces engagements budgétaires.
