Now who will they attack?

The Garde des Sceaux, Christiane Taubira. resigned from the government yesterday. She has been a controversial minister and a continual target of ultra-right wing bodies. Being unhappy with the centrist (even right wing) policies of the government's economics minister and Manuel Valls's tougher anti-terrorist laws Mme Taubira had no option but to resign. But her ethnic status, a black woman from French overseas territories, has subjected her to frequent racist comments, often over-riding her achievements as Justice Minister.  Her resignation is largely welcomed and her replacement Jean-Jacques Urvoas is described as a close supporter of Valls.
