The French government on Wednesday unveiled an interministerial plan to combat bullying in schools, with Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne promising an "uncompromising fight" against such aggression. The announcement follows the suicide deaths of several teenagers that have sparked widespread indignation in recent years.
“This mobilisation must be comprehensive; everyone has a role to play," Borne told a press conference at the prime minister's office at Matignon. The French government will lead an "uncompromising fight against harassment" not only at schools but anywhere that plays a key role in a child's life.
