In a significant legislative development, a comprehensive new law aimed at combating sexist and sexual violence is currently under review by lawmakers, with 69 articles slated for debate. Meanwhile, thousands of citizens have taken to the streets in Marseille to protest a proposed law that would grant a 'presumption of self-defense' to police officers and gendarmes, raising concerns about its implications.
