France to pay tribute to Badinter, French ex-minister who fought to abolish death penalty
Briefly

French President Emmanuel Macron leads a national tribute to former French justice minister Robert Badinter, who dedicated his life to the fight against capital punishment, playing a pivotal role in banning the guillotine in 1981.
Badinter's family has asked the far-right Rassemblement National (National Rally) and the far-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) not to take part in the tribute. The National Rally has agreed not to attend but the radical left has decided to send two of its MPs.
