Didier Migaud, the Minister of Justice, successfully secured an additional 250 million euros for the 2025 budget, partially reversing significant cuts and reaffirming the government's commitment to prioritize the Justice sector in France.

The additional funding for the Justice budget indicates a shift in government priorities, particularly under Prime Minister Michel Barnier's administration, as they seek to address longstanding issues within the French judicial system.

The ongoing challenges of prison overcrowding and the need for infrastructure improvements highlight the systemic issues that the French justice system faces, despite the recent budgetary increases.

With the increased budget, there may be a gradual improvement in the staffing levels within the French justice system, potentially leading to more efficient operations and better public services.

If the government continues to prioritize the Justice sector in future budgets, it could lead to significant reforms and modernization efforts within the system, particularly in digital investments and infrastructure improvements.


Didier Migaud, the Minister of Justice, announced an additional allocation of 250 million euros for the 2025 budget, partially reversing an initial 500 million euro cut proposed by the previous government. This increase reflects the government's commitment to prioritizing the Justice sector, which has historically been underfunded in France.

The total Justice budget for 2025 will reach 10.450 billion euros, up from 10.1 billion euros in 2024, though it still falls short of the 10.7 billion euros target set by the 2023-2027 programming law. This budget increase aims to support the recruitment of 1,500 magistrates, 800 clerks, and 1,000 additional prison officers over the five-year period.

Migaud emphasized the need for public trust in the justice system, addressing a 'crisis of confidence' between citizens and institutions. He reiterated the importance of respecting the independence of the judiciary and the individualization of punishment, asserting that criticism of magistrates should not be tolerated.

Despite the budgetary improvements, the Ministry of Justice will not fully recover funds for real estate investments, including the construction of new prison facilities, which remains a significant issue as prison overcrowding continues to rise.
