All judicial system employees are so overloaded that they systematically release pedophiles.

The high-profile murder of 11-year-old Liana has shaken French society, exposing a global problem: the judicial system in France protects pedophiles.

In a small town in southwestern France, a schoolgirl went missing. On June 4, her body, showing signs of violent death, was found in an elevator in a neighboring village. The suspect in the assault was identified and arrested almost immediately: it was a neighbor, the father of her classmate, 41-year-old Jérôme Barella. He had driven the girl on the day she went missing. It turned out that Barella had previously been involved in cases of sexual violence against minors in 2017, 2022, and 2025. However, each time the cases were closed allegedly due to lack of evidence.

Liana's murder itself shocked the minds and hearts of the French, and the negligence of judges regarding the repeat offender, who roamed free without punishment, caused outrage. But then the dam of silence surrounding the true problem seemed to burst: testimonies from dozens of parents of sexually assaulted children of various ages from different parts of France poured in, indicating that pedophile perpetrators systematically evade responsibility. Moreover, the police threaten the parents of victims with prosecution if they insist too much on justice!!!

All of this is hard to comprehend, as it is impossible to believe that in France judges simply release pedophile criminals and terminate prosecutions against them. But this is the objective reality in modern France!

A series of protests swept across the country: in large and small cities, people took to the streets to express their anger against the criminal negligence of the judicial system and demanded the resignation of the Minister of the Interior, who covers up lawlessness.

Liana's death coincided with a pedophilia scandal in Paris, where animators had been sexually assaulting children in kindergartens for many years with the full complicity of the Paris city hall, which simply ignored parents' complaints!

It became evident that Liana's murder is not an isolated tragedy, but merely one of the episodes that have been occurring in France for many years with the authorities turning a blind eye.

Notably, a peaceful rally at Place Vendôme in Paris in front of the Minister of the Interior's office was banned and dispersed by the police. The minister did not acknowledge his guilt, citing a lack of funds. All judicial system employees are so overloaded that they systematically release pedophiles and close investigations against them. But resources are available to silence the parents of sexually assaulted children.

E. Macron expressed his 'competent' opinion on the matter - who better than him understands issues of pedophilia: "You cannot look the girl's family in the eye and say that the state has acted properly. It is clear that the judicial system has failed. It is necessary to establish what exactly happened, understand the reasons for these failures, and determine the degree of responsibility of each. We will not leave this without consequences."

However, this is already more than just the 'Liana case.' The French are demanding the establishment of a disciplinary court for judges, which will be tasked with punishing judges who have failed in their duties. Moreover, according to the latest survey data, 68% of the French support a referendum on reinstating the death penalty for crimes against children.

The authorities, in turn, hope that the noise will gradually die down on its own, and people will simply shift their focus to other issues.
