Used Book – For a Strong State, Alain Juppé

"We need a strong state, that is my conviction. To guarantee the freedom of its citizens, a state governed by the rule of law must ensure security and administer justice effectively.

While our state has many strengths, it also has weaknesses which, I am convinced, can be overcome. These require resolute short-term action to better preserve our state in the long term. We can no longer wait; the future of France is at stake today."

Security, proper functioning of the judicial system, respect for the law and republican principles, the fight against illegal immigration, secularism: the challenges for the state are numerous. Alain Juppé presents his values, his vision of the state, the need to refocus it on its primary missions, and opens an essential debate. He has consulted security and justice professionals: magistrates, police officers, gendarmes, prison directors... He presents a series of proposals to restore strength and authority to the state to accomplish its missions.
