A dark side of the French government: two suicides triggered an investigation, employees talk about mobbing

The article reports on a French government investigation triggered by two suicides among employees within the broader administration of Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu over seven months, with two others attempting suicide. The inquiry was initiated after a report of bullying or harassment against an employee who later attempted suicide. While the investigation concluded in June, it has now been reported by a public radio station. The circumstances remain unclear, and it is uncertain if other factors were involved. Both suicide cases occurred within the wider administrative staff, which supports the government and its leader but does not directly work under Lecornu. The lawyer of the person who filed the bullying complaint stated that working conditions had worsened due to frequent changes in leadership during the unstable government period, with four prime ministers in two years. An anonymous source referred to as 'Laura' claims she faced mockery and isolation for over three decades of service and that workplace competition had escalated beyond healthy limits.

It emphasizes the instability of the government and the negative impact of frequent leadership changes, suggesting a left-leaning critique of右
