PARIS - France’s interior minister rejected opposition calls for his resignation on Sunday but acknowledged opportunities had been missed to prevent the killing of four police personnel by a radicalized colleague.
“Obviously there were failings, because three men and a woman have been killed,” the minister, Christophe Castaner, told TF1 television of a rampage by a man armed with a knife at the main Paris police headquarters on Thursday. A senior officer had interviewed the colleagues in July 2015 and asked them “whether they wanted to file an administrative report”, Castaner said on Sunday. “But they decided not to.”
Castaner was appointed last year to the government of President Emmanuel Macron, who succeeded President Francois Hollande in 2017.
