The judicial system badly needs modernising to speed up the processing of cases and reduce queues, and his government has introduced reforms which it claims willdo this, but nooneelse seems to agree.
But it is still there not so much a can-do spirit as a well-no-one-else-will spirit, a fact of life in a technically competent workforce at the end of a long supply chain.
This is an old habit (the first newspaper in France was supported by Cardinal Richelieu, the country's first prime minister) and may explain why French politicians do not need to tell the truth to voters: it is because nooneelsewill.
