The French prosecutor's office has launched an unprecedented criminal investigation into suspected bullying of employees at the office of the French Prime Minister, following a complaint by an employee who attempted to take her own life. The investigation comes after two suicides and another suspected death of a worker found lifeless in a restroom. The employee, Laura, who works in the correspondence department, alleges a toxic work environment, humiliation, isolation, and being moved to basement offices. Her lawyer, Christelle Mazza, described ultra-aggressive competition among workers. The head of the office, Laure Marion, has opened an internal inquiry and stated that preventing psychosocial risks is a top priority. The events occur against the backdrop of Macron losing his parliamentary majority in the 2024 elections, leading to frequent turnover of ministerial teams.
