French court charges Strasbourg gunman's 'accomplice'. Italy's far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Tuesday hit out at President Emmanuel Macron after French police were caught committing the "unprecedented offence" of dumping migrants in Italian woods. Salvini, also deputy prime minister and head of the anti-immigrant League party, on Monday demanded a "clear response" after French authorities admitted to returning migrants to Italy in "error". A French police van was seen on Friday driving into Italy to return recently-arrived migrants to the town of Claviere.

An outraged Salvini batted away that explanation, while France said the incident should be "kept in perspective". We're dealing with an international shame, and Mr Macron can't pretend he doesn't know. We won't accept any excuses," Salvini wrote.

Ramadan has denied both women's accusations. Le Monde remarked that by using BalanceTonPorc, a hashtag more "radical" than MeToo, French women were expressing their anger over a problem that may not be more vast than elsewhere, but is surely more entrenched. But Simonnet says what's happening now shows that France is dealing with the age-old problem of men dominating women through violence just like everywhere else.

A recent poll shows that some 50 percent of French women have suffered from some kind of harassment.

France already had somewhat of an awakening in with revelations about Dominique Strauss Kahn, then the head of the International Monetary Fund and the unofficial front-runner in France's presidential race. Though the case was eventually dropped, Strauss Kahn's arrest in New York on allegations of attacking a hotel housekeeper laid bare a decades-long pattern of predatory behavior that was ignored and overlooked by officials and the French media. The second change is that now things are shifting on the ground. For example, company unions are putting in place programs to sensitize people to this.
