After a 19-year-old female student was killed in a posh neighborhood of Paris, the French right is calling for tighter immigration laws.
The young woman, simply known as Philippine, was discovered to have partially buried remains in the Bois de Boulogne park on the western edge of the capital on Saturday.
She was last seen on Friday lunchtime, from a few hundred meters away, leaving the Paris-Dauphine university campus, where she was studying economics.
The accused murderer was found on Tuesday and is presently being held for deportation to France after being traced to Geneva.The 22-year-old Moroccan man was freed from French prison earlier this month, having served five years for the 2019 student rape.
He was the subject of an unfulfilled order to be removed from France; Taha O was the name given to him by the French media.
The new interior minister of France, Bruno Retailleau, is a hardliner who came to office last week promising to “establish order, establish order, and establish order.” As a minister, this is his first test.
On the social media platform X, he stated, “It is up to us as public officials to… change our legal arsenal in order to protect the French.”
The murder served as further proof of the incompetence of the French legal system, according to the far-right National Rally (RN).
