The murder of 11-year-old Lyhanna in France has ignited widespread public outrage and protests, intensifying pressure on the government. The alleged killer, Jérome Barella, had been reported for sexual abuse months prior, but authorities failed to investigate, leading to accusations of systemic failings. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin acknowledged "unacceptable failings" but refused to resign, while the government navigates public fury and a justice system citing resource shortages.
