French Minister Christiane Taubira has resigned amid political concerns against her government. According to BBC, Taubira has chosen to relinquish her position because of how the French government treats its convicted people, stripping them off of their citizenship if convicted.

She also believes that the proposed anti-terrorism law has targeted only those with dual citizenship. In her statement, she said, "I left the government over a major political disagreement. I am choosing to be true to myself, to my commitments, my battles and my relationships with other people."

The proposal came after the Paris attacks and France declared a state of emergency within the region. France's state of emergency declaration permitted authorities to put suspects under house arrest.

As opposed to what Taubira said, the revised article that was submitted to the parliament by Prime Minister Manuel Valls said nothing about aiming at people with dual citizenship. Sadly, the proposed revised article was presented shortly after Taubira declared her resignation.

Taubira's history in the government position has not been easy. She has also been the target of racial taunts, but she remains to be one of President François Hollande's closest allies, who has respected her decision to resign.

A spokesperson for the Elysee Palace said, "They agreed on the need to bring her role to an end at a time when debate on constitutional revision begins in the National Assembly." Taubira has also been a supporter of the same-sex marriage law in the country.

The issue on the state of emergency has also been questioned by human rights activists, primarily because of its scope that disallows demonstrations and meetings. This was after the government declared that the state of emergency "can continue" under "imminent danger" issues.

Patrice Spinosi, League of Human Rights lawyer, implied that the government should not continue to impose the state of emergency under "unidentified threat." Valls however, firmly believes that the declaration of the state emergency will be effective for as long as it's necessary.

Valls also disclosed to BBC how France will remain to be under the state of emergency until such time they are able to overcome the threat of the Islamic State.

According to France 24, Taubira's strength in keeping her principles has been the total opposite of the government she's currently working for. For Taubira, it is not proper to strip a person of his citizenship, even if he or she is convicted and especially if that person has a dual citizenship.
